Famous quotes containing the words ship, died and/or shame:
“If the oarsmen of a fast-moving ship suddenly cease to row, the suspension of the driving force of the oars doesn’t prevent the vessel from continuing to move on its course. And with a speech it is much the same. After he has finished reciting the document, the speaker will still be able to maintain the same tone without a break, borrowing its momentum and impulse from the passage he has just read out.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C)
“The word “Christianity” is already a misunderstanding—in reality there has been only one Christian, and he died on the Cross.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Let us not be ashamed to speak what we shame not to think.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
