Famous quotes containing the words lowest and/or weight:
“Met face to face, these Indians in their native woods looked like the sinister and slouching fellows whom you meet picking up strings and paper in the streets of a city. There is, in fact, a remarkable and unexpected resemblance between the degraded savage and the lowest classes in a great city. The one is no more a child of nature than the other. In the progress of degradation the distinction of races is soon lost.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“I falter where I firmly trod,
And falling with my weight of cares
Upon the great worlds altar-stairs
That slope thro darkness up to God,”
—Alfred Tennyson (18091892)
