Sitting

Famous quotes containing the word sitting:

“There’s a long story, my friend. I never did like the idea of sitting on newspapers. I did it once and all the headlines came off on my white pants. On the level, it actually happened. Nobody bought a paper that day. They just followed me around over town and read the news off the seat of my pants.”
—Robert Riskin (1897–1955)

“Though someone is just sitting at home, misfortune can descend on him from Heaven above.”
—Chinese proverb.

“If I devote myself to other pursuits and contemplations, I must first see, at least, that I do not do pursue them sitting upon another man’s shoulders. I must get off him first, that he may pursue his contemplations too.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
