Famous quotes containing the words maxim, magazine and/or hot:
“Many politicians of our time are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into the water until he had learnt to swim. If men are to wait for liberty till they become wise and good in slavery, they may indeed wait forever.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (18001859)
“Men are universally afraid of a broomstick and a womans tongue; if no other weapons are allowed us, let these be freely used.”
—Anonymous, U.S. womens magazine contributor. The Lily, p. 69 (September 1851)
“Away went the messengers bicycle,
His serpents track went up the hill forever.
And all the time she stood there hot as fever
And cold as any icicle.”
—John Crowe Ransom (18881974)
