Cardinal

Famous quotes containing the word cardinal:

    In nothing was slavery so savage and relentless as in its attempted destruction of the family instincts of the Negro race in America. Individuals, not families; shelters, not homes; herding, not marriages, were the cardinal sins in that system of horrors.
    Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)

    One must not make oneself cheap here—that is a cardinal point—or else one is done. Whoever is most impertinent has the best chance.
    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791)

    Distrust all those who love you extremely upon a very slight acquaintance, and without any visible reason. Be upon your guard, too, against those who confess, as their weaknesses, all the cardinal virtues.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
