Famous quotes containing the words special and/or forces:

    “I don’t like to be idle; in fact, I often feel somewhat guilty unless there is some purpose to what I am doing. But spending a few hours—or a few days—in the woods, swamps or alongside a stream has never seemed to me a waste of time.... I derive special benefit from a period of solitude.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    “The most exciting happiness is the happiness generated by forces beyond your control.”
    —Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
