Famous quotes containing the words man and/or charged:
“It doth amaze me
A man of such a feeble temper should
So get the start of the majestic world
And bear the palm alone.”
—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)
