We cannot pass our guardian angel's bounds, resigned or sullen, he will hear our sighs.

Quote by Augustin de Hipona

He has no right to his life when his duty calls him to resign it. Other men are bound... to deprive him of life or liberty, if that should appear in any case to be indispensably necessary to prevent a greater evil.

Quote by William Godwin about duty, liberty, life, rightness, man

Quote by Czeslaw Milosz about people, human imperfections
