Famous quotes containing the words patient and/or alive:
“For who would bare the whips and scorns of time,
Thoppressors wrong, the proud mans contumely,
The pangs of disprized love, the laws delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of thunworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin?”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Visit the Navy-Yard, and behold a marine, such a man as an American government can make, or such as it can make a man with its black arts,a mere shadow and reminiscence of humanity, a man laid out alive and standing, and already, as one may say, buried under arms with funeral accompaniments.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
