Moral Distinctions

Famous quotes containing the words moral and/or distinctions:

“In Homer and Chaucer there is more of the innocence and serenity of youth than in the more modern and moral poets. The Iliad is not Sabbath but morning reading, and men cling to this old song, because they still have moments of unbaptized and uncommitted life, which give them an appetite for more.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I will not allow mere names to make distinctions for me, but still see men in herds for all them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
