Famous quotes containing the word works:

    “I believe it has been said that one copy of The Times contains more useful information than the whole of the historical works of Thucydides.”
    —Richard Cobden (1804–1865)

    “... no one who has not been an integral part of a slaveholding community, can have any idea of its abominations.... even were slavery no curse to its victims, the exercise of arbitrary power works such fearful ruin upon the hearts of slaveholders, that I should feel impelled to labor and pray for its overthrow with my last energies and latest breath.”
    —Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
