Famous quotes containing the words excellent and/or master:
“When Nature was shaping him, clay was not granted
For making so full-sized a man as she wanted,
So, to fill out her model, a little she spared
From some finer-grained stuff for a woman prepared,
And she could not have hit a more excellent plan
For making him fully and perfectly man.”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
“No slavery can be abolished without a double emancipation, and the master will benefit by freedom more than the freed-man.”
