Famous quotes containing the words pope, air and/or force:

    Is it, in Heav’n, a crime to love too well?

    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    My companion and I, having a minute’s discussion on some point of ancient history, were amused by the attitude which the Indian, who could not tell what we were talking about, assumed. He constituted himself umpire, and, judging by our air and gesture, he very seriously remarked from time to time, “you beat,” or “he beat.”
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Men are not governed by justice, but by law or persuasion. When they refuse to be governed by law or persuasion, they have to be governed by force or fraud, or both.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
