Famous quotes containing the words man and/or charged:
“Every man feels instinctively that all the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action.”

“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)
