Famous quotes containing the words arrest, suspicion and/or accepting:

    Let me arrest thy thoughts; wonder with me,
    Why plowing, building, ruling and the rest,
    Or most of those arts, whence our lives are blest,
    By cursed Cain’s race invented be,
    And blest Seth vexed us with Astronomie.
    John Donne (c. 1572–1631)

    The dullard’s envy of brilliant men is always assuaged by the suspicion that they will come to a bad end.
    Max Beerbohm (1872–1956)

    The “sayings” of a community, its proverbs, are its characteristic comment upon life; they imply its history, suggest its attitude toward the world and its way of accepting life.

    Willa Cather (1873–1947)
