Engaged Enemy

Famous quotes containing the words engaged and/or enemy:

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Resolve not to be poor: whatever you have, spend less. Poverty is a great enemy to human happiness; it certainly destroys liberty, and it makes some virtues impracticable, and others extremely difficult.”
