Despise Quotations

Abraham Maslow I despise people who go to the gutter on either the right or the left and hurl rocks at those in the center. Dwight D. Eisenhower Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else. Marcus Aurelius Men despise religion. They hate it and are afraid it may be true. Blaise Pascal If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.
