Famous quotes containing the word sacrificed:

“He who never sacrificed a present to a future good or a personal to a general one can speak of happiness only as the blind do of colors.”

“Some day the workers will take possession of your city hall, and when we do, no child will be sacrificed on the altar of profit!”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)

“If I were to be taken hostage, I would not plead for release nor would I want my government to be blackmailed.

If that were done, what gain would there be for terrorists in taking hostages?”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
