Famous quotes containing the words comparison and/or tables:
“Clay answered the petition by declaring that while he looked on the institution of slavery as an evil, it was nothing in comparison with the far greater evil which would inevitably flow from a sudden and indiscriminate emancipation.”

“The word unto the prophet spoken
Was writ on tables yet unbroken;
The word by seers or sibyls told,
In groves of oak, or fanes of gold,
Still floats upon the morning wind,
Still whispers to the willing mind.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
