Marvell/people

Famous quotes containing the words marvell and/or people:

    O who shall from this dungeon raise
    A soul enslaved so many ways?
    With bolts of bones, that fettered stands
    In feet; and manacled in hands:
    Here blinded with an eye; and there
    Deaf with the drumming of an ear;
    A soul hung up, as ‘twere, in chains
    Of nerves, and arteries, and veins;
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    The people themselves, and not their servants, can safely reverse their own deliberate decisions.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
