Slander

Famous quotes containing the word slander:

    If thou dost slander her and torture me,
    Never pray more; abandon all remorse;
    On horror’s head horrors accumulate;
    Do deeds to make heaven weep, all earth amazed;
    For nothing canst thou to damnation add
    Greater than that.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    We slander the hyena; man is the fiercest and cruelest animal.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
