Famous quotes containing the words love, takes and/or time:

    Prudence and justice tell me that in electricity and steam there is more love for man than in chastity and abstinence from meat.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    Those who have handled sciences have either been men of experiment or men of dogmas. The men of experiment are like the ant; they only collect and use; the reasoners resemble spiders, who make cobwebs out of their own substance. But the bee takes the middle course; it gathers its material from the flowers of the garden and of the field, but transforms and digests it by a power of its own. Not unlike this is the true business of philosophy.
    Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

    The poor world is almost six thousand years old, and in all this time there was not any man died in his own person,
    videlicet, in a love-cause.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
