Famous quotes containing the words food and/or lion:
“To give money to a sufferer is only a come-off. It is only a postponement of the real payment, a bribe paid for silence, a credit system in which a paper promise to pay answers for the time instead of liquidation. We owe to man higher succors than food and fire. We owe to man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Beware instinct—the lion will not touch the true prince.
Instinct is a great matter.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
