Famous quotes containing the word potent:

    Oh, I must keep my heart inviolate
    Against the potent poison of your hate.
    Claude McKay (1889–1948)

    No power on earth or above the bottomless pit has such influence to terrorize and make cowards of men as the liquor power. Satan could not have fallen on a more potent instrument with which to thrall the world. Alcohol is king!

    What potent blood hath modest May;
    What fiery force the earth renews,
    The wealth of forms, the flush of hues;
    Joy shed in rosy waves abroad
    Flows from the heart of Love, the Lord.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
