Famous quotes containing the words quiet, flows and/or don:

    “You’ll never have a quiet world til you knock the patriotism out of the human race.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “It is a mischievous notion that we are come late into nature; that the world was finished a long time ago. As the world was plastic and fluid in the hands of God, so it is ever to so much of his attributes as we bring to it. To ignorance and sin, it is flint. They adapt to themselves to it as they may; but in proportion as a man has anything in him divine, the firmament flows before him and takes his signet and form.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Don here-and-there, Don epileptic;
    Don puffed and empty, Don dyspeptic;
    Don middle-class, Don sycophantic,
    Don dull, Don brutish, Don pedantic;”
    —Hilaire Belloc (1870–1953)
