Famous quotes containing the words final and/or syllables:

    The purpose of punishment is to improve those who do the punishing—that is the final recourse of those who support punishment.

    This is the poem of the air,
    Slowly in silent syllables recorded;

    Long in its cloudy bosom hoarded,
    Now whispered and revealed
    To wood and field.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
