Famous quotes containing the words give and/or check:
“Good resolutions are useless attempts to interfere with scientific laws. Their origin is pure vanity. Their result is absolutely nil. They give us, now and then, some of those luxurious sterile emotions that have a certain charm for the weak.... They are simply cheques that men draw on a bank where they have no account.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“When you go out, check the look of the sky; when you come in, check the looks on people’s faces.”
—Chinese proverb.
