Saves

Famous quotes containing the word saves:

    Neither fear nor courage saves us. Unnatural vices
    Are fathered by our heroism. Virtues
    Are forced upon us by our impudent crimes.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    The frost which kills the harvest of a year saves the harvest of a century, by destroying the weevil or the locust.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    To abolish a status, which in all ages God has sanctioned, and man has continued, would not only be robbery to an innumerable class of our fellow-subjects; but it would be extreme cruelty to the African Savages, a portion of whom it saves from massacre, or intolerable bondage in their own country, and introduces into a much happier state of life; especially now when their passage to the West-Indies and their treatment there is humanely regulated.
    James Boswell (1740–1795)
