Famous quotes containing the words webster and/or received:

“Heaven-gates are not so highly arched
As princes’ palaces: they that enter there
Must go upon their knees.”

“Biography, in its purer form, confined to the ended lives of the true and brave, may be held the fairest meed of human virtue—one given and received in entire disinterestedness—since neither can the biographer hope for acknowledgment from the subject, not the subject at all avail himself of the biographical distinction conferred.”
