Famous quotes containing the words idle and/or stop:
“...I do deeply deplore, of the sake of the cause, the prevalent notion, that the clergy must be had, either by persuasion or by bribery. They will not need persuasion or bribery, if their hearts are with us; if they are not, we are better without them. It is idle to suppose that the kingdom of heaven cannot come on earth, without their cooperation.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“The New England conscience ... does not stop you from doing what you shouldn’t—it just stops you from enjoying it.”
—Cleveland Amory (b. 1917)
