Famous quotes containing the word benefactors:

    “Most benefactors are like unskillful generals who take the city and leave the citadel intact.”
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)

    “Why should not our furniture be as simple as the Arab’s or the Indian’s? When I think of the benefactors of the race, whom we have apotheosized as messengers from heaven, bearers of divine gifts to man, I do not see in my mind any retinue at their heels, any carload of fashionable furniture.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
