Generally Accepted

Famous quotes containing the words generally and/or accepted:

“It is the nature of an hypothesis, when once a man has conceived it, that it assimulates every thing to itself as proper nourishment; and, from the first moment of your begetting it, it generally grows the stronger by every thing you see, hear, read, or understand. This is of great use.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

“The wise man should withdraw his soul within, out of the crowd, and keep it in freedom and power to judge things freely; but as for externals, he should wholly follow the accepted fashions and forms.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
