Passage Tombs

Famous quotes containing the words passage and/or tombs:

“When the passage “All men are born free and equal,” when that passage was being written were not some of the signers legalised owners of slaves?”

““All that glistens is not gold,
Often have you heard that told;
Many a man his life hath sold
But my outside to behold.
Gilded tombs do worms infold.
Had you been as wise as bold,
Young in limbs, in judgment old,
Your answer had not been inscrolled.
Fare you well, your suit is cold.””
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
