Opposed

Famous quotes containing the word opposed:

“While most of today’s jobs do not require great intelligence, they do require greater frustration tolerance, personal discipline, organization, management, and interpersonal skills than were required two decades and more ago.

—James P. Comer (20th century)

“To offend and judge are distinct offices,
And of opposed natures.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatched, unfledged comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel; but being in,
Bear’t that the opposed may beware of thee.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
