Corrupt

Famous quotes containing the word corrupt:

“Women have their heads in their hearts. Man seems to have been destined for a superior being; as things are, I think women generally better creatures than men.

—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

“All things can corrupt when minds are prone to evil.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
