Famous quotes containing the words integrity and/or testing:

    The laboring man has not leisure for a true integrity day by day.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Bourbon’s the only drink. You can take all that champagne stuff and pour it down the English Channel. Well, why wait 80 years before you can drink the stuff? Great vineyards, huge barrels aging forever, poor little old monks running around testing it, just so some woman in Tulsa, Oklahoma can say it tickles her nose.
    John Michael Hayes (b.1919)
