Famous quotes containing the words intended and/or design:
“Although what I am now to say is to be, in form, a reprimand, it is not intended to add a pang to what you have already suffered.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Humility is often only the putting on of a submissiveness by which men hope to bring other people to submit to them; it is a more calculated sort of pride, which debases itself with a design of being exalted; and though this vice transform itself into a thousand several shapes, yet the disguise is never more effectual nor more capable of deceiving the world than when concealed under a form of humility.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
