Famous quotes containing the word works:

    “He never works and never bathes, and yet he appears well fed always.... Well, what does he live on then?”
    —Edward T. Lowe, and Frank Strayer. Sauer (William V. Mong)

    “When life has been well spent, age is a loss of what it can well spare,—muscular strength, organic instincts, gross bulk, and works that belong to these. But the central wisdom, which was old in infancy, is young in fourscore years, and dropping off obstructions, leaves in happy subjects the mind purified and wise.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “... no one who has not been an integral part of a slaveholding community, can have any idea of its abominations.... even were slavery no curse to its victims, the exercise of arbitrary power works such fearful ruin upon the hearts of slaveholders, that I should feel impelled to labor and pray for its overthrow with my last energies and latest breath.”
    —Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
