Famous quotes containing the words mass of, mass and/or gregory:

    I stand for the heart. To the dogs with the head! I had rather be a fool with a heart, than Jupiter Olympus with his head. The reason the mass of men fear God, and at bottom dislike Him, is because they rather distrust His heart, and fancy Him all brain like a watch.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    The great mass of people ... will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one.
    Adolf Hitler (1889–1945)

    Well, there’s no one at all, they do be saying, but is deserving of some punishment from the very minute of his birth.
    Augusta, Lady Gregory (1859–1932)
