Greater Resting

Famous quotes containing the words greater and/or resting:

“That man is good who does good to others; if he suffers on account of the good he does, he is very good; if he suffers at the hands of those to whom he has done good, then his goodness is so great that it could be enhanced only by greater sufferings; and if he should die at their hands, his virtue can go no further: it is heroic, it is perfect.”
—Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)

Of whose true-fixed and resting quality
There is no fellow in the firmament.”
