Unable

Famous quotes containing the word unable:

    There are some persons in this world, who, unable to give better proof of being wise, take a strange delight in showing what they think they have sagaciously read in mankind by uncharitable suspicions of them.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    To govern is to choose. To appear to be unable to choose is to appear to be unable to govern.
    Nigel Lawson (b. 1932)

    She’s just a child,
    but I’m the one who’s fainthearted.
    She’s the woman,
    but I’m the coward.
    She bears that high, swollen set of breasts,
    but I’m the one who’s burdened.
    The heavy hips are hers,
    but I’m unable to move.
    It’s a wonder
    how clumsy I’ve become
    because of flaws
    that shelter themselves
    in another.
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
