Set Out

Famous quotes containing the words set out and/or set:

    Are cans constitutionally iffy? Whenever, that is, we say that we can do something, or could do something, or could have done something, is there an if in the offing—suppressed, it may be, but due nevertheless to appear when we set out our sentence in full or when we give an explanation of its meaning?
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)

    I do not set my life at a pin’s fee,
    And for my soul, what can it do to that,
    Being a thing immortal as itself?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I consider it equal injustice to set our heart against natural pleasures and to set our heart too much on them. We should neither pursue them, nor flee them; we should accept them.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
