Famous quotes containing the word rule:
“The earliest instinct of the child, and the ripest experience of age, unite in affirming simplicity to be the truest and profoundest part for man. Likewise this simplicity is so universal and all-containing as a rule for human life, that the subtlest bad man, and the purest good man, as well as the profoundest wise man, do all alike present it on that side which they socially turn to the inquisitive and unscrupulous world.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Some rule out of a lust for ruling; others, so as not to be ruled:Mto these it is merely the lesser of two evils.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
