Highest Increase

Famous quotes containing the words highest and/or increase:

“What a lovely thing a rose is!... Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But the rose is an extra. Its smell and its colour are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

“It shows nobility to be willing to increase your debt to a man to whom you already owe much.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
