Famous quotes containing the words station and/or usage:
“To act the part of a true friend requires more conscientious feeling than to fill with credit and complacency any other station or capacity in social life.”

“Pythagoras, Locke, Socrates—but pages
Might be filled up, as vainly as before,
With the sad usage of all sorts of sages,
Who in his life-time, each was deemed a bore!
The loftiest minds outrun their tardy ages.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
