Famous quotes containing the words prominent, descendants and/or john:

    “The vain man does not wish so much to be prominent as to feel himself prominent; he therefore disdains none of the expedients for self-deception and self-outwitting. It is not the opinion of others that he sets his heart on, but his opinion of their opinion.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “And what if my descendants lose the flower
    Through natural declension of the soul,
    Through too much business with the passing hour,
    Through too much play, or marriage with a fool?”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Approval of what is approved of
    Is as false as a well-kept vow.”
    —Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)
