Famous quotes containing the words mixed, martial and/or arts:
“Memory is a wonderfully useful tool, and without it judgement does its work with difficulty; it is entirely lacking in me.... Now, the more I distrust my memory, the more confused it becomes. It serves me better by chance encounter; I have to solicit it nonchalantly. For if I press it, it is stunned; and once it has begun to totter, the more I probe it, the more it gets mixed up and embarrassed. It serves me at its own time, not at mine.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“The country in the town. [Rus in urbe.]”
—Marcus Valerius Martial (c. 40–104)
“One man cannot practice many arts with success.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
