Force Due

Famous quotes containing the words force and/or due:

“Mediocrity would always win by force of numbers, but it would win only more mediocrity.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)

“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)
