Famous quotes containing the words special and/or measures:
“I don’t like to be idle; in fact, I often feel somewhat guilty unless there is some purpose to what I am doing. But spending a few hours—or a few days—in the woods, swamps or alongside a stream has never seemed to me a waste of time.... I derive special benefit from a period of solitude.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“The reliance on authority measures the decline of religion, the withdrawal of the soul.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
