Famous quotes containing the words race and/or xxiv:
“Nobody is glad in the gladness of another, and our system is one of war, of an injurious superiority. Every child of the Saxon race is educated to wish to be first. It is our system; and a man comes to measure his greatness by the regrets, envies, and hatreds of his competitors.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up
his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from
the God of his salvation.”
—Bible: Hebrew Psalm XXIV (l. XXIV, 4–5)
