Holds Braves Record

Famous quotes containing the words holds, braves and/or record:

    The town is divided into various groups, which form so many little states, each with its own laws and customs, its jargon and its jokes. While the association holds and the fashion lasts, they admit nothing well said or well done except by one of themselves, and they are incapable of appeciating anything from another source, to the point of despising those who are not initiated into their mysteries.
    —Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)

    The brave man braves nothing, nor knows he of his bravery.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A wellborn mind that is practiced in dealing with people makes itself thoroughly agreeable by itself. Art is nothing else but the list and record of the productions of such minds.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
