Famous quotes containing the words heavy and/or manners:
“The great end of life is not knowledge, but action. What men need is as much knowledge as they can assimilate and organize into a basis for action; give them more and it may become injurious. One knows people who are as heavy and stupid from undigested learning as other are from over-fulness of meat and drink.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“I have always been of the mind that in a democracy manners are the only effective weapons against the bowie-knife.”
