Famous quotes containing the words mental and/or exercise:
“Dining-out is a vice, a dissipation of spirit punished by remorse. We eat, drink and talk a little too much, abuse all our friends, belch out our literary preferences and are egged on by accomplices in the audience to acts of mental exhibitionism. Such evenings cannot fail to diminish those who take part in them.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
“As long as the reason of man continues fallible, and he is at liberty to exercise it, different opinions will be formed.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
