Wounded

Famous quotes containing the word wounded:

“With his brows knit, his mind made up, his will resolved and resistless, he advances, crashing his way through the host of weak, half-formed, dilettante opinions, honest and dishonest ways of thinking, with their standards raised, sentimentalities and conjectures, and tramples them all into dust. See how he prevails; you don’t even hear the groans of the wounded and dying.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“A needless Alexandrine ends the song,
That, like a wounded snake, drags its slow length along.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

“There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole
There is a balm in Gilead to heal the sinsick soul.”
—African-American hymn-writer. “There Is a Balm in Gilead,” l. 1-2.
