Famous quotes containing the word works:

    “I cannot spare water or wine, Tobacco-leaf, or poppy, or rose;
    From the earth-poles to the line, All between that works or grows,
    Every thing is kin of mine.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “He never works and never bathes, and yet he appears well fed always.... Well, what does he live on then?”
    —Edward T. Lowe, and Frank Strayer. Sauer (William V. Mong)

    “Piety practised in solitude, like the flower that blooms in the desert, may give its fragrance to the winds of heaven, and delight those unbodied spirits that survey the works of God and the actions of men; but it bestows no assistance upon earthly beings, and however free from taints of impurity, yet wants the sacred splendour of beneficence.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
