Famous quotes containing the words important and/or works:

    Nothing is so important to man as his own state; nothing is so formidable to him as eternity. And thus it is unnatural that there should be men indifferent to the loss of their existence and to the perils of everlasting suffering.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    There is a great deal of self-denial and manliness in poor and middle-class houses, in town and country, that has not got into literature, and never will, but that keeps the earth sweet; that saves on superfluities, and spends on essentials; that goes rusty, and educates the boy; that sells the horse, but builds the school; works early and late, takes two looms in the factory, three looms, six looms, but pays off the mortgage on the paternal farm, and then goes back cheerfully to work again.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
