Moreover, as we were saying before, he grows worse from having power: he becomes and is of necessity more jealous, more faithless, more unjust, more friendless, more impious, than he was at first; he is the purveyor and Cherisher of every sort of vice, and the consequence is that he is supremely miserable, and that he makes everybody else as miserable as himself.
"Plato's Republic"
Plato
Verse 5. Every flower is a little sun, and shines forth, owing its beauty to an effort after conformity to the likeness of its Cherisher, not without the succour of gracious dews.
"A Christmas Faggot"
Alfred Gurney
He was surely too fond of the things of this world, too obviously a lover and Cherisher of the body.
"The Garden Of Allah"
Robert Hichens
