Older Persons

Famous quotes containing the words older and/or persons:

    It is poverty’s speech that seeks us out the most.

    This is the tragic accent of the scene.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    To punish a man because he has committed a crime, or because he is believed, though unjustly, to have committed a crime, is not persecution. To punish a man, because we infer from the nature of some doctrine which he holds, or from the conduct of other persons who hold the same doctrines with him, that he will commit a crime, is persecution, and is, in every case, foolish and wicked.
    Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
