Famous quotes containing the word comparison:
“He was a superior man. He did not value his bodily life in comparison with ideal things. He did not recognize unjust human laws, but resisted them as he was bid. For once we are lifted out of the trivialness and dust of politics into the region of truth and manhood.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Clay answered the petition by declaring that while he looked on the institution of slavery as an evil, it was nothing in comparison with the far greater evil which would inevitably flow from a sudden and indiscriminate emancipation.”
—State of Indiana, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Certainly there is not the fight recorded in Concord history, at least, if in the history of America, that will bear a moments comparison with this, whether for the numbers engaged in it, or for the patriotism and heroism displayed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
