Final Th

Famous quotes containing the word final:

“It is the final proof of God’s omnipotence that he need not exist in order to save us.”
—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)

“There is no country in which so absolute a homage is paid to wealth. In America there is a touch of shame when a man exhibits the evidences of large property, as if after all it needed apology. But the Englishman has pure pride in his wealth, and esteems it a final certificate. A coarse logic rules throughout all English souls: if you have merit, can you not show it by your good clothes and coach and horses?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
