Famous quotes containing the words heavy and/or duty:
“Now the hungry lion roars,
And the wolf behowls the moon;
Whilst the heavy ploughman snores,
All with weary task fordone.
Now the wasted brands do glow,
Whilst the screech-owl, screeching loud,
Puts the wretch that lies in woe
In remembrance of a shroud.
Now it is the time of night,
That the graves, all gaping wide,
Every one lets forth his sprite,
In the church-way paths to glide:”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“If one mistreats citizens of foreign countries, one infringes upon ones duty toward ones own subjects; for thus one exposes them to the law of retribution.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (17491832)
