Sages/people

Famous quotes containing the words sages and/or people:

“I am monarch of all I survey;
My right there is none to dispute;
From the center all round to the sea
I am lord of the fowl and the brute.
O Solitude! where are the charms
That sages have seen in thy face?
Better dwell in the midst of alarms,
Than reign in this horrible place.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)

“We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run over.”
—Aneurin Bevan (1897–1960)
