Famous quotes containing the words dues and/or increase:
“Like a tale of little meaning though the words are strong;
Chanted from an ill-used race of men that cleave the soil,
Sow the seed, and reap the harvest with enduring toil,
Storing yearly little dues of wheat, and wine and oil;
Till they perish and they suffer—some, ‘tis
whispered—down in hell”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“The whole value of history, of biography, is to increase my self-trust, by demonstrating what man can be and do.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
