Measures Spin

Famous quotes containing the words measures and/or spin:

“They who have been bred in the school of politics fail now and always to face the facts. Their measures are half measures and makeshifts merely. They put off the day of settlement, and meanwhile the debt accumulates.”

No villain need be! Passions spin the plot:
We are betrayed by what is false within.”
