Famous quotes containing the words world and/or leaders:
“I did not live until this time
Crownd my felicity,
When I could say without a crime,
I am not thine, but Thee.
This carcase breathd, and walkt, and slept,
So that the World believd
There was a soul the motions kept;
But they were all deceivd.”
—Katherine Philips (16311664)
“People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosophera Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days. Its the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (18961940)
