Famous quotes containing the word swallow:

    ...if we would be and do all that as a rational being we should desire, we must resolve to govern ourselves; we must seek diversity of interests; dread to be without an object and without mental occupation; and try to balance work for the body and work for the mind.
    —Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
