Famous quotes containing the words book, god and/or speaks:
“Reading any collection of a man’s quotations is like eating the ingredients that go into a stew instead of cooking them together in the pot. You eat all the carrots, then all the potatoes, then the meat. You won’t go away hungry, but it’s not quite satisfying. Only a biography, or autobiography, gives you the hot meal.”
—Christopher Buckley, U.S. author. A review of three books of quotations from Newt Gingrich. “Newtie’s Greatest Hits,” The New York Times Book Review (March 12, 1995)
“Prince Hal. Why, thou owest God a death.
Falstaff. ‘Tis not due yet, I would be loath to pay him
before his day.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Every one speaks well of his own heart, but no one dares speak well of his own mind.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
