Famous quotes containing the words mixed, martial and/or arts:
“Where might is mixed with wit, there is too good an accord in a government.”
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
“The country in the town. [Rus in urbe.]”
—Marcus Valerius Martial (c. 40–104)
“For me, the principal fact of life is the free mind. For good and evil, man is a free creative spirit. This produces the very queer world we live in, a world in continuous creation and therefore continuous change and insecurity. A perpetually new and lively world, but a dangerous one, full of tragedy and injustice. A world in everlasting conflict between the new idea and the old allegiances, new arts and new inventions against the old establishment.”
—Joyce Cary (1888–1957)
