Famous quotes containing the words iron and/or chains:
“Morality, a muzzle for the will; logic, a climbing iron for the mind.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“... there are no chains so galling as the chains of ignorance—no fetters so binding as those that bind the soul, and exclude it from the vast field of useful and scientific knowledge. O, had I received the advantages of early education, my ideas would, ere now, have expanded far and wide; but, alas! I possess nothing but moral capability—no teachings but the teachings of the Holy Spirit.”
—Maria Stewart (1803–1879)
