Famous quotes containing the words power and/or relative:
“Do thou, then breathe those thoughts into my mind
By which such virtue may in me be bred
That in thy holy footsteps I may tread:
The fetters of my tongue do thou unbind,
That I may have the power to sing of thee
And sound thy praises everlastingly”
—Michelangelo Buonarroti (1474–1564)
“It is an interesting question how far men would retain their relative rank if they were divested of their clothes.”
