Quotations for rescue

When a few words will rescue misery out of her distress,
I hate the man who can be a churl of them. [ Sterne ]

Riches cannot rescue from the grave, which claims alike the monarch and the slave. [ Dryden ]

Let a woman once give you a task, and you are hers, heart and soul; all your care and trouble lend new charms to her for whose sake they are taken. To rescue, to revenge, to instruct, or protect a woman is all the same as to love her. [ Richter ]
