Famous quotes containing the word rule:

    It has come to be practically a sort of rule in literature, that a man, having once shown himself capable of original writing, is entitled thenceforth to steal from the writings of others at discretion. Thought is the property of him who can entertain it; and of him who can adequately place it. A certain awkwardness marks the use of borrowed thoughts; but, as soon as we have learned what to do with them, they become our own.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    My reason, it’s true, controls my feelings, but whatever its authority, it doesn’t rule them so much as tyrannize them.
    Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)

    The only rule is, do what you really, impulsively, wish to do. But always act on your own responsibility, sincerely. And have the courage of your own strong emotion.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
