Famous quotes containing the words rules, election and/or days:

    Isn’t the greatest rule of all the rules simply to please?
    Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)

    The election makes me think of a story of a man who was dying. He had only two minutes to live, so he sent for a clergyman and asked him, “Where is the best place to go to?” He was undecided about it. So the minister told him that each place had its advantages—heaven for climate, and hell for society.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    These days are dangerous;
    Virtue is choked with foul ambition,
    And charity chased hence by rancor’s hand.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
