Famous quotes containing the word benefactors:

    “Why should not our furniture be as simple as the Arab’s or the Indian’s? When I think of the benefactors of the race, whom we have apotheosized as messengers from heaven, bearers of divine gifts to man, I do not see in my mind any retinue at their heels, any carload of fashionable furniture.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Most benefactors are like unskillful generals who take the city and leave the citadel intact.”
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
