Famous quotes containing the words species, awaiting and/or acceptance:
“Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man’s appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“To die, to be really dead, that must be glorious.... There are far worse things awaiting man than death.”
—Garrett Fort (1900–1945)
“I greet thy love,
Not with vain thanks, but with acceptance bounteous.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
