Famous quotes containing the words rank, time and/or office:

    “But he thought of his sisters, proud and cold,
    And his mother, vain of her rank and gold.”
    —John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    “And since the average lifetime—the relative longevity—is far greater for memories of poetic sensations than for those of heartbreaks, since the very long time that the grief I felt then because of Gilbert, it has been outlived by the pleasure I feel, whenever I wish to read, as in a sort of sundial, the minutes between twelve fifteen and one o’clock, in the month of May, upon remembering myself chatting ... with Madame Swann under the reflection of a cradle of wisteria.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    “Reason is, and ought only to be, the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them.”
    —David Hume (1711–1776)
