Famous quotes containing the word ruling:

    “When a man gives himself up to the government of a ruling passion,—or, in other words, when his HOBBY-HORSE grows head- strong,—farewell cool reason and fair discretion.”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    “Still doth the soul, from its lone fastness high,
    Upon our life a ruling effluence send.
    And when it fails, fight as we will, we die;
    And while it lasts, we cannot wholly end.”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
