Famous quotes containing the words public and/or works:

    “Our government rests in public opinion. Whoever can change public opinion, can change the government, practically just so much.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “When life has been well spent, age is a loss of what it can well spare,—muscular strength, organic instincts, gross bulk, and works that belong to these. But the central wisdom, which was old in infancy, is young in fourscore years, and dropping off obstructions, leaves in happy subjects the mind purified and wise.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
