Compromise Level

Famous quotes containing the words compromise and/or level:

“The trail of the serpent reaches into all the lucrative professions and practices of man. Each has its own wrongs. Each finds a tender and very intelligent conscience a disqualification for success. Each requires of the practitioner a certain shutting of the eyes, a certain dapperness and compliance, an acceptance of customs, a sequestration from the sentiments of generosity and love, a compromise of private opinion and lofty integrity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Let still the woman take
An elder than herself. So wears she to him;
So sways she level in her husband’s heart.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
