Famous quotes containing the word mutual:
“For do but note a wild and wanton herd
Or race of youthful and unhandled colts
Fetching mad bounds, bellowing and neighing loud,
Which is the hot condition of their blood;
If they but hear perchance a trumpet sound,
Or any air of music touch their ears,
You shall perceive them make a mutual stand,
Their savage eyes turned to a modest gaze
By the sweet power of music.”
—William Shake{peare (15641616)

“Whoever takes a view of the life of man ... will find it so beset and hemmd in with obligations of one kind or other, as to leave little room to suspect, that man can live to himself: and so closely has our creator linkd us together ... that we find this bond of mutual dependence ... is too strong to be broke.”
—Laurence Sterne (17131768)
