Famous quotes containing the words balanced, budget and/or act:
“Virtues are not emotions. Emotions are movements of appetite, virtues dispositions of appetite towards movement. Moreover emotions can be good or bad, reasonable or unreasonable; whereas virtues dispose us only to good. Emotions arise in the appetite and are brought into conformity with reason; virtues are effects of reason achieving themselves in reasonable movements of the appetites. Balanced emotions are virtue’s effect, not its substance.”
—Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)
“A budget takes the fun out of money.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“To see him act is like reading Shakespeare by flashes of lightning.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
