Famous quotes containing the word rules:

    “[O]ur rules can have authority over such natural rights only as we have submitted to them. The rights of conscience we never submitted, we could not submit. We are answerable for them to our God.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “The only rules comedy can tolerate are those of taste, and the only limitations those of libel.”
    —James Thurber (1894–1961)

    “There are two great rules in life, the one general and the other particular. The first is that every one can in the end get what he wants if he only tries. This is the general rule. The particular rule is that every individual is more or less of an exception to the general rule.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
