Famous quotes containing the word keeping:
“I do not know if you remember the tale of the girl who saves the ship under mutiny by sitting on the powder barrel with her lighted torch ... and all the time knowing that it is empty?

“Man seems to be capable of great virtues but not of small virtues; capable of defying his torturer but not of keeping his temper.”
