Infinite Continued

Famous quotes containing the words infinite and/or continued:

“Vanity is as advantageous to a government as pride is dangerous. To be convinced of this we need only represent, on the one hand, the numberless benefits which result from vanity, as industry, the arts, fashions, politeness, and taste; and on the other, the infinite evils which spring from the pride of certain nations, a laziness, poverty, a total neglect of everything.”
—Charles Louis de Secondat Montesquieu (1689–1755)

“Calmed by my pleading,
she continued to list your crimes,
found that ten fingers weren’t enough
and cried for a long time.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
