Noted Quotes by Philosophers and Poets

The sad duty of politics is to establish justice in a sinful world.
— Reinhold Niebuhr
Great is the hand that holds dominion over
Man by a scribbled name.
The five kings count the dead but do not soften
The crusted wound nor stroke the brow;
A hand rules pity as hand rules heaven;
Hands have no tears to flow.
— Dylan Thomas
