Famous quotes containing the word perpetual:
“I allude to these facts to show that, so far from the Supper being a tradition in which men are fully agreed, there has always been the widest room for difference of opinion upon this particular. Having recently given particular attention to this subject, I was led to the conclusion that Jesus did not intend to establish an institution for perpetual observance when he ate the Passover with his disciples; and further, to the opinion that it is not expedient to celebrate it as we do.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I were better to be eaten to death with a rust than to be scoured to nothing with perpetual motion.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I can reason down or deny everything, except this perpetual Belly: feed he must and will, and I cannot make him respectable.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
