Famous quotes containing the words body and/or thief:
“It was a weak spot in any nation to have a large body of disaffected people within its confusion.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“None can re-enter there—
No thief so politic,
No Satan with a royal trick
Steal in by window, chink, or hole,
To bind or unbind, add what lacked,
Insert a leaf, or forge a name,
New-face or finish what is packed,
Alter or mend eternal fact.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
