Famous quotes containing the words wicked and/or men:
“There are wicked men who would be much less dangerous if they had not some goodness.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was when one asked me what I thought, and attended to my answer.... Commonly, if men want anything of me, it is only to know how many acres I make of their land,—since I am a surveyor,—or, at most, what trivial news I have burdened myself with. They never will go to law for my meat; they prefer the shell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
