Famous quotes containing the words species, give and/or rise:

    There are minds so impatient of inferiority that their gratitude is a species of revenge, and they return benefits, not because recompense is a pleasure, but because obligation is a pain.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    Now mark me how I will undo myself.
    I give this heavy weight from off my head,
    And this unwieldy sceptre from my hand,
    The pride of kingly sway from out my heart.

    With mine own hands I give away my crown.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    —D.H. (David Herbert)
