Famous quotes containing the words air and/or defence:

    “The air is precious to the red man, for all things share the same breath—the beast, the tree, the man, they all share the same breath. The white man does not seem to notice the air he breathes. Like a man dying for many days, he is numb to the stench.”
    —Attributed to Seattle (c. 1784–1866)

    “Education must have two foundations—morality as a support for virtue, prudence as a defence for self against the vices of others. By letting the balance incline to the side of morality, you only make dupes or martyrs; by letting it incline to the other, you make calculating egoists.”
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
