Match Penalty

Famous quotes containing the words match and/or penalty:

    “There’s not a man or woman
    Born under the skies
    Dare match in learning with us two,
    And all day long we have found
    There’s not a thing but love can make
    The world a narrow pound.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Plato says that the punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government, is, to live under the government of worse men; and the like regret is suggested to all the auditors, as the penalty of abstaining to speak,—that they shall hear worse orators than themselves.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
