Famous quotes containing the words works, thomas and/or hood:

    In doing good, we are generally cold, and languid, and sluggish; and of all things afraid of being too much in the right. But the works of malice and injustice are quite in another style. They are finished with a bold, masterly hand; touched as they are with the spirit of those vehement passions that call forth all our energies, whenever we oppress and persecute..
    Edmund Burke (1729–97)

    I cannot speke and loke lyke a saynct,
    Use wiles for witt and make deceyt a pleasure,
    And call crafft counsell, for proffet styll to paint.
    I cannot wrest the law to fill the coffer
    With innocent blode to fede my sellff fat,
    And doo most hurt where most hellp I offer.
    —Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

    But who would rush at a benighted man,
    And give him two black eyes for being blind?
    —Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
