Famous quotes containing the words man and/or charged:
“Yet to me what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me—nor woman neither, though by your smiling you seem to say so.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“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)
