Famous quotes containing the words friends, peace and/or pilgrim:
“When we enlarge upon the affection our friends have for us, this is very often not so much out of a sense of gratitude as from a desire to persuade people of our own great worth, that can deserve so much kindness.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“The basis of world peace is the teaching which runs through almost all the great religions of the world. “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” Christ, some of the other great Jewish teachers, Buddha, all preached it. Their followers forgot it. What is the trouble between capital and labor, what is the trouble in many of our communities, but rather a universal forgetting that this teaching is one of our first obligations.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“At least the Pilgrim Fathers used to shoot Indians: the Pilgrim Children merely punch time clocks.”
—E.E. (Edward Estlin)
