Pope Leo XIV

Famous quotes containing the words pope, leo and/or xiv:

    Learn to live well, or fairly make your will;
    You’ve played, and loved, and eat, and drunk your fill:
    Walk sober off; before a sprightlier age
    Comes tittering on, and shoves you from the stage:
    Leave such to trifle with more grace and ease,
    Whom Folly pleases, and whose follies please.
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    A man in the house is worth two in the street.

    Every time I bestow a vacant office I make a hundred discontented persons and one ingrate.
    —Louis XIV (1638–1715)
