Famous quotes containing the words subject and/or people:

“Great Negative, how vainly would the Wise
Enquire, define, distinguish, teach, devise,
Didst thou not stand to point their dull Philosophies?
Is, or is not, the two great Ends of Fate,
And, true or false, the Subject of Debate,
That perfect, or destroy, the vast Designs of Fate,”
—John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (1909–1969)

“Love has been not unaptly compared to the small-pox, which most people have sooner or later.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
