Famous quotes containing the words man and/or charged:
“Every man has a right to utter what he thinks truth, and every other man has a right to knock him down for it. Martyrdom is the test.”

“God, who gave to him the lyre,
Of all mortals the desire,
For all breathing men’s behoof,

Annexed a warning, poets say,
To the bright premium,—
Ever, when twain together play,
Shall the harp be dumb.”
