Guard Hairs

Famous quotes containing the words guard and/or hairs:

“Irony, forsooth! Guard yourself, Engineer, from the sort of irony that thrives up here; guard yourself altogether from taking on their mental attitude! Where irony is not a direct and classic device of oratory, not for a moment equivocal to a healthy mind, it makes for depravity, it becomes a drawback to civilization, an unclean traffic with the forces of reaction, vice and materialism.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

“Though those who study are as many as the number of hairs on an ox, those who succeed are as rare as unicorns’ horns.”
—Chinese proverb.
