Famous quotes containing the words hot, spring and/or flow:
“When hot dogs like Mr. D’Amato or the Republican apologist Roger Ailes say that Whitewater is worse than Watergate, it’s because they’re suffering from a disease. It’s called bull-imia, and it’s the regurgitation of patent hyperbole.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“We must not suppose that, because a man is a rational animal, he will, therefore, always act rationally; or, because he has such or such a predominant passion, that he will act invariably and consequentially in pursuit of it. No, we are complicated machines; and though we have one main spring that gives motion to the whole, we have an infinity of little wheels, which, in their turns, retard, precipitate, and sometime stop that motion.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“For as the interposition of a rivulet, however small, will occasion the line of the phalanx to fluctuate, so any trifling disagreement will be the cause of seditions; but they will not so soon flow from anything else as from the disagreement between virtue and vice, and next to that between poverty and riches.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
