Souls

Famous quotes containing the word souls:

    How difficult the task to quench the fire and the pride of private ambition, and to sacrifice ourselves and all our hopes and expectations to the public weal! How few have souls capable of so noble an undertaking! How often are the laurels worn by those who have had no share in earning them! But there is a future recompense of reward, to which the upright man looks, and which he will most assuredly obtain, provided he perseveres unto the end.
    Abigail Adams (1744–1818)

    So, while their bodies moulder here
    Their souls with God himself shall dwell,—
    But always recollect, my dear,
    That wicked people go to hell.
    Ann Taylor (1782–1866)

    We know now that the soul is the body, and the body the soul. They tell us they are different because they want to persuade us that we can keep our souls if we let them make slaves of our bodies.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
