Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or roots:
“You are all alike, you respectable people. You can’t tell me the bursting strain of a ten-inch gun, which is a very simple matter; but you all think you can tell me the bursting strain of a man under temptation. You daren’t handle high explosives; but you’re all ready to handle honesty and truth and justice and the whole duty of man, and kill one another at that game. What a country! What a world!”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“He who sins easily, sins less. The very power
Renders less vigorous the roots of evil.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
