Pope Due

Famous quotes containing the words pope and/or due:

    Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;
    Thus unlamented let me die;
    Steal from the world, and not a stone
    Tell where I lie.

    Praise is a more ingenious, concealed, and subtle kind of flattery, that satisfies both the giver and the receiver, though by very different ways. The one accepts it as a reward due to his merit; the other gives it that he may be looked upon as a just and discerning person.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
