Famous quotes containing the words vocabulary and/or comparison:

    I have a vocabulary all my own. I “pass the time” when it is wet and disagreeable. When it is fine I do not wish to pass it; I ruminate it and hold on to it. We should hasten over the bad, and settle upon the good.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    It is comparison than makes people miserable.
    Chinese proverb.
