Tone Receiver

Famous quotes containing the words tone and/or receiver:

“It hurts me to hear the tone in which the poor are condemned as “shiftless,” or “having a pauper spirit,” just as it would if a crowd mocked at a child for its weakness, or laughed at a lame man because he could not run, or a blind man because he stumbled.”
—Albion Fellows Bacon (1865–1933)

“Gifts must affect the receiver to the point of shock.”
