Famous quotes containing the words moses and/or struck:
“Life—that is: continually shedding something that wants to die. Life—that is: being cruel and inexorable against everything about us that is growing old and weak—and not only about us. Life—that is, then: being without reverence for those who are dying, who are wretched, who are ancient? Constantly being a murderer?—And yet old Moses said: “Thou shalt not kill.””
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike, you do not wait until he has struck to crush him.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
