Famous quotes containing the word works:

    “I know no subject more elevating, more amazing, more ready to the poetical enthusiasm, the philosophical reflection, and the moral sentiment than the works of nature. Where can we meet such variety, such beauty, such magnificence?”
    —James Thomson (1700–1748)

    “... no one who has not been an integral part of a slaveholding community, can have any idea of its abominations.... even were slavery no curse to its victims, the exercise of arbitrary power works such fearful ruin upon the hearts of slaveholders, that I should feel impelled to labor and pray for its overthrow with my last energies and latest breath.”
    —Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)

    “I believe it has been said that one copy of The Times contains more useful information than the whole of the historical works of Thucydides.”
    —Richard Cobden (1804–1865)
