Favour

Famous quotes containing the word favour:

“I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races. There is a physical difference between the two, which, in my judgement, will probably for ever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality; and inasmuch as it becomes a necessity that there must be a difference, I ... am in favour of the race to which I belong having the superior position.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

“It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism, while the wolf remains of a different opinion.”
—W.R. (William Ralph)

“Everyone is always in favour of general economy and particular expenditure.”
—Anthony, Sir Eden (1897–1977)
