Famous quotes containing the word accidents:

    I can forgive even that wrong of wrongs,
    Those undreamt accidents that have made me
    Seeing that Fame has perished this long while,
    Being but a part of ancient ceremony
    Notorious, till all my priceless things
    Are but a post the passing dogs defile.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Some accidents there are in life that a little folly is necessary to help us out of.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
