Famous quotes containing the words world and/or heritage:

    “All the world loves a clown.”
    —Cole Porter (1893–1964)

    “Flowers ... that are so pathetic in their beauty, frail as the clouds, and in their colouring as gorgeous as the heavens, had through thousands of years been the heritage of children—honoured as the jewellery of God only by them—when suddenly the voice of Christianity, counter-signing the voice of infancy, raised them to a grandeur transcending the Hebrew throne, although founded by God himself, and pronounced Solomon in all his glory not to be arrayed like one of these.”
    —Thomas De Quincey (1785–1859)
