Righteous Babe

Famous quotes containing the words righteous and/or babe:

    When the righteous man turneth away from his righteousness that he hath committed and doeth that which is neither lawful nor quite right, he will generally be found to have gained in amiability what he has lost in holiness.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    I have given suck, and know
    How tender ‘tis to love the babe that milks me;
    I would, while it was smiling in my face,
    Have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums
    And dashed the brains out, had I so sworn
    As you have done to this.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
