Famous quotes containing the word rules:

    “Fergus rules the brazen cars,
    And rules the shadows of the wood,
    And the white breast of the dim sea
    And all dishevelled wandering stars.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “... a large portion of success is derived from flexibility. It is all very well to have principles, rules of behavior concerning right and wrong. But it is quite as essential to know when to forget as when to use them.”
    —Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)

    “Logic teaches rules for presentation, not thinking.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
