Sound Masses

Famous quotes containing the words sound and/or masses:

    It is a tale
    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury;
    Signifying nothing.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    There is but little virtue in the action of masses of men. When the majority shall at length vote for the abolition of slavery, it will be because they are indifferent to slavery, or because there is but little slavery left to be abolished by their vote. They will then be the only slaves. Only his vote can hasten the abolition of slavery who asserts his own freedom by his vote.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
