tribute Quotes

Quote:If the universe is so bad...how on earth did human beings ever come to attribute it to the activity of a wise and good Creator?[C.S. Lewis]

Quote:Jealousy is the tribute mediocrity pays to genius.[Fulton J. Sheen]

Quote:Let individuals contribute as they desire; but let us prohibit in effective fashion all corporations from making contributions for any political purpose, directly or indirectly.[Theodore Roosevelt]

Quote:The problem is not that we have too many fools, it's that the lightning isn't distributed right.[Mark Twain]

Quote:The quality of mercy is not strain'd, <br>It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven <br>Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: <br>It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. <br>'T is mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes <br>The throned monarch better than his crown; <br>His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, <br>The attribute to awe and majesty, <br>Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; <br>But mercy is above this sceptred sway, <br>It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, <br>It is an attribute to God himself; <br>And earthly power doth then show likest God's, <br>When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, <br>Though justice be thy plea, consider this, <br>That in the course of justice none of us <br>Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; <br>And that same prayer doth teach us all to render <br>The deeds of mercy. [William Shakespeare]

Quote:The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. [Mahatma Gandhi]
