World Short

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or short:

“A certain kind of rich man afflicted with the symptoms of moral dandyism sooner or later comes to the conclusion that it isn’t enough merely to make money. He feels obliged to hold views, to espouse causes and elect Presidents, to explain to a trembling world how and why the world went wrong. The spectacle is nearly always comic.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)

“Lord, what a change within us one short hour
Spent in Thy presence will avail to make!”
—Richard Chenevix Trench (1807–1886)
