Famous quotes containing the words sentiment and/or muslim:
“For be it remembered that we have not published any ... sentiment without having first ourselves carefully examined it on all sides. We expect not therefore ... a hasty censure because our opinions may happen to appear new as to some particular points, which our readers may never before have thoroughly examined.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
