Famous quotes containing the word flights:

    “Franklin said once in one of his inspired flights of malignity—
    Early to bed and early to rise
    Make a man healthy and wealth and wise.
    As if it were any object to a boy to be healthy and wealthy and wise on such terms.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “A noble soul is not the one that can manage the highest flights but the one that rises very little and falls very little but always dwells in a free, resplendent atmosphere and altitude.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
