Vincent Finished

Famous quotes containing the words vincent and/or finished:

    Parrots, tortoises and redwoods
    Live a longer life than men do,
    Men a longer life than dogs do,
    Dogs a longer life than love does.
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    In doing good, we are generally cold, and languid, and sluggish; and of all things afraid of being too much in the right. But the works of malice and injustice are quite in another style. They are finished with a bold, masterly hand; touched as they are with the spirit of those vehement passions that call forth all our energies, whenever we oppress and persecute..
    Edmund Burke (1729–97)
