World Called

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or called:

“There is a certain class of people who prefer to say that their fathers came down in the world through their own follies than to boast that they rose in the world through their own industry and talents. It is the same shabby-genteel sentiment, the same vanity of birth which makes men prefer to believe that they are degenerated angels rather than elevated apes.”
—W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)

“Men in history, men in the world of to-day are bugs, are spawn, and are called “the mass” and “the herd.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
