Randall/people

Famous quotes containing the words randall and/or people:

    She is not dead, nor deaf, nor dumb;
    Huzza! she spurns the Northern scum!
    She breathes! She burns! She’ll come!
    She’ll come!
    Maryland, my Maryland!
    —James Ryder Randall (1839–1908)

    For them it’s out-of-date and outmoded to perform miracles; teaching the people is too like hard work, interpreting the holy scriptures is for schoolmen and praying is a waste of time; to shed tears is weak and womanish, to be needy is degrading; to suffer defeat is a disgrace and hardly fitting for one who scarcely permits the greatest of kings to kiss the toes of his sacred feet; and finally, death is an unattractive prospect, and dying on a cross would be an ignominious end.
    Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
