Neighbour Principle

Famous quotes containing the words neighbour and/or principle:

“Certain it is that scandal is good brisk talk, whereas praise of one’s neighbour is by no means lively hearing. An acquaintance grilled, scored, devilled, and served with mustard and cayenne pepper excites the appetite; whereas a slice of cold friend with currant jelly is but a sickly, unrelishing meat.”
—William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863)

“Thou art blind to the danger of marrying a woman who feels and acts out the principle of equal rights.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
