Men Legacy

Famous quotes containing the words men and/or legacy:

“Most men would feel shame if caught preparing with their own hands precisely such a dinner, whether of animal or vegetable food, as is every day prepared for them by others.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.”
