Famous quotes with Dowered

• Who is happy? This is a person, who has a healthy body, is dowered with peace of mind and cultivates his talents.

  Thales
• Nature gave horns to the bull, Hoofs gave she to the horse. To the lion cavernous jaws, And swiftness to the hare. The fish taught she to swim, The bird to cleave the air; To man she reason gave; Not yet was woman dowered. What, then, to woman gave she? The priceless gift of beauty. Stronger than any buckler, Than any spear more piercing. Who hath the gift of beauty. Nor fire nor steel shall harm her.
