Famous quotes containing the word approaches:
“A politician is a statesman who approaches every question with an open mouth.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
“The Oriental philosophy approaches easily loftier themes than the modern aspires to; and no wonder if it sometimes prattle about them. It only assigns their due rank respectively to Action and Contemplation, or rather does full justice to the latter. Western philosophers have not conceived of the significance of Contemplation in their sense.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Bloody men are like bloody buses—
You wait for about a year
And as soon as one approaches your stop
Two or three others appear.”
—Wendy Cope (b. 1945)
