Famous quotes containing the words eye and/or care:
“Men are to be guided only by their self-interests. Good government is a good balancing of these; and, except a keen eye and appetite for self-interest, requires no virtue in any quarter. To both parties it is emphatically a machine: to the discontented, a taxing- machine; to the contented, a machine for securing property. Its duties and its faults are not those of a father, but of an active parish-constable.”
—Thomas Carlyle (17951881)
“Great Powers of falling wave and wind and windy fire,
With your harmonious choir
Encircle her I love and sing her into peace,
That my old care may cease....”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
