[Lat., Malesuada fames.] - Virgil or Vergil (Publius Virgilius Maro Vergil), The Aeneid (VI, 276) Starvation, not sin, is the parent of modern crime. - Oscar Wilde (Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde) Hunger does not breed reform; it breeds madness, and all the ugly distempers that make an ordered life impossible. - Thomas Woodrow Wilson Hunger is the mother of impatience and anger. - Johann Georg von Zimmermann Displaying page 2 of 2 for this topic: << Prev 1 [2]
