Famous quotes containing the words rest and/or mass:
“Let no man write my epitaph; for as no man who knows my motives dare now vindicate them, let not prejudice or ignorance asperse them. Let them rest in obscurity and peace! Let my memory be left in oblivion, my tomb remain uninscribed, until other times and other men can do justice to my character.”
—Robert Emmet (1778–1803)
“The mass never comes up to the standard of its best member, but on the contrary degrades itself to a level with the lowest.”
