Floating Charges

Famous quotes containing the words floating and/or charges:

    “They [the children] live in a world of delightful imagination; they pursue persons and objects that never existed; they make an Argosy laden with gold out of a floating butterfly,—and these stupid [grown-up people] try to translate these things into uninteresting facts.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    “I have never injured anybody with a mordant poem; my
    verse contains charges against nobody. Ingenuous, I have
    shunned wit steeped in venom—not a letter of mine is dipped
    in poisonous jest.”
    —Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
