Famous quotes containing the words purpose and/or benefits:
“Let our hearts, as subtle masters do,
Stir up their servants to an act of rage

Which so appearing to the common eyes,
We shall be called purgers, not murderers.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“While greedy good-doers, beneficent beasts of prey,
Swarm over their lives enforcing benefits ...”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
