Engaged Enemy

Famous quotes containing the words engaged and/or enemy:

    I am engaged to Concord and my own private pursuits by 10,000 ties, and it would be suicide to rend them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I do not think I could myself, be brought to support a man for office, whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion. Leaving the higher matter of eternal consequences, between him and his Maker, I still do not think any man has the right thus to insult the feelings, and injure the morals, of the community in which he may live.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
