Famous quotes containing the words world and/or alliance:
“Thus truths established and borne out,
Though circumstanced with dark and doubt
Though by a world of doubt surrounded.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
“In short, no association or alliance can be happy or stable without me. People cant long tolerate a ruler, nor can a master his servant, a maid her mistress, a teacher his pupil, a friend his friend nor a wife her husband, a landlord his tenant, a soldier his comrade nor a party-goer his companion, unless they sometimes have illusions about each other, make use of flattery, and have the sense to turn a blind eye and sweeten life for themselves with the honey of folly.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 14661536)
