Famous quotes containing the words short and/or words:
“The farmer imagines power and place are fine things. But the President has paid dear for his White House. It has commonly cost him all his peace, and the best of his manly attributes. To preserve for a short time so conspicuous an appearance before the world, he is content to eat dust before the real masters who stand erect behind the throne.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.”
—Bible: New Testament St. Paul, in 1 Timothy, 6:7.
The words also appear in the Book of Common Prayer, “Burial of the Dead.”
