Famous quotes containing the words severely and/or burnt:
“The human face is a weak guarantee; yet it deserves some consideration. And if I had to whip the wicked, I would do so more severely to those who belied and betrayed the promises that nature had implanted on their brows; I would punish malice more harshly when it was hidden under a kindly appearance.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“So all were lost, which in the ship were found,
They in the sea being burnt, they in the burnt ship drown’d.”
