Famous quotes containing the words physical and/or design:
“Dying is something we human beings do continuously, not just at the end of our physical lives on this earth.”
—Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (b. 1926)
“Humility is often only the putting on of a submissiveness by which men hope to bring other people to submit to them; it is a more calculated sort of pride, which debases itself with a design of being exalted; and though this vice transform itself into a thousand several shapes, yet the disguise is never more effectual nor more capable of deceiving the world than when concealed under a form of humility.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
