Human Wishes

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or wishes:

“Nor blame I Death, because he bare
The use of virtue out of earth;
I know transplanted human worth
Will bloom to profit, otherwhere.

For this alone on Death I wreak
The wrath that garners in my heart:
He put our lives so far apart
We cannot hear each other speak.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

“All a man’s affairs become diseased when he wishes to cure evils by evils.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
