Famous quotes containing the word disgrace:
“For them it’s out-of-date and outmoded to perform miracles; teaching the people is too like hard work, interpreting the holy scriptures is for schoolmen and praying is a waste of time; to shed tears is weak and womanish, to be needy is degrading; to suffer defeat is a disgrace and hardly fitting for one who scarcely permits the greatest of kings to kiss the toes of his sacred feet; and finally, death is an unattractive prospect, and dying on a cross would be an ignominious end.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
“It’s no disgrace t’ be poor, but it might as well be.”
—Kin Hubbard (F. [Frank] Mckinney Hubbard)
“This miserable state is borne by the wretched souls of those who lived without disgrace and without praise.”
—Dante Alighieri (1265–1321)
