Soul Resembles

Famous quotes containing the words soul and/or resembles:

“Why do you hasten to remove anything which hurts your eye, while if something affects your soul you postpone the cure until next year?”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)

“The mob is man voluntarily descending to the nature of the beast. Its fit hour of activity is night. Its actions are insane like its whole constitution. It persecutes a principle; it would whip a right; it would tar and feather justice, by inflicting fire and outrage upon the houses and persons of those who have these. It resembles the prank of boys, who run with fire-engines to put out the ruddy aurora streaming to the stars.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
