Man Charged

Famous quotes containing the words man and/or charged:

    There is no doubt: the study of man is just beginning, at the same time that his end is in sight.
    Elias Canetti (b. 1905)

    God, who gave to him the lyre,
    Of all mortals the desire,
    For all breathing men’s behoof,
    Straitly charged him, “Sit aloof;”
    Annexed a warning, poets say,
    To the bright premium,—
    Ever, when twain together play,
    Shall the harp be dumb.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
