Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or kingdom:

    “The worst and best are both inclined
    To snap like vixens at the truth.
    But, O, beware the middle mind
    That purrs and never shows a tooth!”
    —Elinor Wylie (1885–1928)

    “He is a strong man who can hold down his opinion. A man cannot utter two or three sentences, without disclosing to intelligent ears precisely where he stands in life and thought, namely, whether in the kingdom of the senses and the understanding, or, in that of ideas and imagination, in the realm of intuitions and duty.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
