Natural Son

Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or son:

    It is natural for the mind to believe and for the will to love; so that, for want of true objects, they must attach themselves to false.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    I believe that what so saddens the reformer is not his sympathy with his fellows in distress, but, though he be the holiest son of God, is his private ail. Let this be righted, let the spring come to him, the morning rise over his couch, and he will forsake his generous companions without apology.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
