Pope Gregory II

Famous quotes containing the words pope and/or gregory:

    True wit is Nature to advantage dressed,
    What oft was thought, but ne’er so well expressed;
    Something whose truth convinced at sight we find,
    That gives us back the image of our mind.
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    Civil Rights: What black folks are given in the U.S. on the installment plan, as in civil-rights bills. Not to be confused with human rights, which are the dignity, stature, humanity, respect, and freedom belonging to all people by right of their birth.
    —Dick Gregory (b. 1932)
