Famous quotes containing the words man and/or charged:
“Being a useful man has always seemed to me to be something truly hideous.”

“God, who gave to him the lyre,
Of all mortals the desire,
For all breathing men’s behoof,
Straitly charged him, “Sit aloof;”
Annexed a warning, poets say,
To the bright premium,—
Ever, when twain together play,
Shall the harp be dumb.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
