Famous quotes containing the words guiding and/or star:
“We are born to action; and whatever is capable of suggesting and guiding action has power over us from the first.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“Firmness yclept in heroes, kings and seamen,
That is, when they succeed; but greatly blamed
As obstinacy, both in men and women,
Whene’er their triumph pales, or star is tamed —
And ‘twill perplex the casuist in morality
To fix the due bounds of this dangerous quality.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
