Mortal

Famous quotes containing the word mortal:

    O momentary grace of mortal men,
    Which we more hunt for than the grace of God!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Fortune raises up and fortune brings low both the man who fares well and the one who fares badly; and there is no prophet of the future for mortal men.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    And what art thou, thou idol ceremony?
    What kind of god art thou, that suffer’st more
    Of mortal griefs than do thy worshippers?
    What are thy rents? What are thy comings-in?
    O ceremony, show me but thy worth.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
