Man Charged

Famous quotes containing the words man and/or charged:

    It is hard to rescue a man from the slough of luxury and idleness combined. If anything can do it, it is a cradle filled annually.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    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)
