Relative Directions

Famous quotes containing the words relative and/or directions:

    “The ungentlemanly expressions and gasconading conduct of yours relative to me yesterday was in true character of yourself and unmask you to the world and plainly show that they were ebullitions of a base mind ... and flow from a source devoid of every refined sentiment or delicate sensations.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    “My friend devotes himself to his life, whenever he can find the spare time. His motto is: ‘Don’t just sit there: live!’ So he’s too busy to stand, to walk, to do anything, except to live. He even refused to kiss a girl, when invited, on the grounds that it was time again to be living. Schedules are sacred to him.”
    —Marvin Cohen, U.S. author and humorist. The Self-Devoted Friend, New Directions (1967)
