Highly

Famous quotes containing the word highly:

    There may be an excess of cultivation as well as of anything else, until civilization becomes pathetic. A highly cultivated man,—all whose bones can be bent! whose heaven-born virtues are but good manners!
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    This visible world is wonderfully to be delighted in, and highly to be esteemed, because it is the theatre of God’s righteous Kingdom.
    Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)

    Imagine believing in the control of inflation by curbing the money supply! That is like deciding to stop your dog fouling the sidewalk by plugging up its rear end. It is highly unlikely to succeed, but if it does it kills the hound.
    —Michael D. Stephens. “On Sinai, There’s No Economics,” New York Times (Nov. 13, 1981)
