Famous quotes containing the words variant and/or names:

    ““I am willing to die for my country” is a variant of “I am willing to kill for my country.””
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “If goodness were only a theory, it were a pity it should be lost to the world. There are a number of things, the idea of which is a clear gain to the mind. Let people, for instance, rail at friendship, genius, freedom, as long as they will—the very names of these despised qualities are better than anything else that could be substituted for them, and embalm even the most envenomed satire against them.”
    —William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
