Famous quotes containing the word accord:

I am weary of personality.... Let us be easy and impersonal, not forever fingering over our own souls, and the souls of our acquaintances, but trying to create a new life, a new common life, a new complete tree of life from the roots that are within us.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

“Where might is mixed with wit, there is too good an accord in a government.”
