Famous quotes containing the words relations with, relations and/or natives:

    As death, when we come to consider it closely, is the true goal of our existence, I have formed during the last few years such close relations with this best and truest friend of mankind, that his image is not only no longer terrifying to me, but is indeed very soothing and consoling! And I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity ... of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.
    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791)

    What a man sows, that shall he and his relations reap.
    Clarissa Graves (1892–1985?)

    We are Christians by the same title as we are natives of Perigord or Germany.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
