Famous quotes containing the words righteous and/or deeds:
“A town is saved, not more by the righteous men in it than by the woods and swamps that surround it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“My sweetest Lesbia let us live and love,
And though the sager sort our deeds reprove,
Let us not weigh them: Heav’n’s great lamps do dive
Into their west, and straight again revive,
But soon as once set is our little light,
Then must we sleep one ever-during night.”
—Catullus [Gaius Valerius Catullus] (84–54 B.C.)
