“Except a creature be part coward, it is not a compliment to say he is brave; it is merely a loose misapplication of the word”
Mark Twain
“Ther's No greater Compliment Than The Hidden Compliment Of An Adversary.”
Donald Lynn Frost
“Except a creature be part coward it is not a compliment to say it is brave; it is merely a loose application of the word. Consider the flea! -- incomparably the bravest of all the creatures of God, if ignorance of fear were courage.”
“The man who regards his own life and that of his fellow creatures as meaningless is not merely unfortunate but almost disqualified for life”
Albert Einstein
“If you were not a sinful, polluted, helpless, and miserable creature, this Savior would not be suited to you, and you would not be comprehended in his gracious invitations to the children of men.”
Archibald Alexander
“Butterflies... not quite birds, as they were not quite flowers, mysterious and fascinating as are all indeterminate creatures.”
Elizabeth Goudge
“When all the world dissolves, / And every creature shall be purified, / All place shall be hell that is not heaven.”
Christopher Marlowe
