Famous quotes containing the words spring, hill and/or fair:

    “We must not suppose that, because a man is a rational animal, he will, therefore, always act rationally; or, because he has such or such a predominant passion, that he will act invariably and consequentially in pursuit of it. No, we are complicated machines; and though we have one main spring that gives motion to the whole, we have an infinity of little wheels, which, in their turns, retard, precipitate, and sometime stop that motion.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “Who knows but this hill may one day be a Helvellyn, or even a Parnassus, and the Muses haunt here, and other Homers frequent the neighboring plains?... It was a place where gods might wander, so solemn and solitary, and removed from all contagion with the plain.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “It is an old adage, “All is fair in love as in war,” but I thought not of general laws, and only felt a private grievance.”
    —Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)
