Famous quotes containing the words middle, east and/or diary:
“Reprehension is a kind of middle thing betwixt admonition and correction: it is sharpe admonition, but a milde correction.

[Blows are] the last remedy which a parent can use: a remedy which may doe good when nothing else can.”
—William Gouge, Puritan writer. As quoted in The Rise and Fall of Childhood by C. John Sommerville, ch. 11 (rev. 1990)
“If the east wind doesn’t prevail over the west wind, then the west wind will prevail over the east wind.”
