Famous quotes containing the words bad and/or times:
“It is not a bad thing that children should occasionally, and politely, put parents in their place.”
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
“To me, however, the question of the times resolved itself into a practical question of the conduct of life. How shall I live? We are incompetent to solve the times. Our geometry cannot span the huge orbits of the prevailing ideas, behold their return, and reconcile their opposition. We can only obey our own polarity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
