Rigid

Famous quotes containing the word rigid:

    They work, and age, and put off men
    By being unattractive, or too shy,
    Or having morals anyhow, none give in:
    Some of them go quite rigid with disgust
    At anything but marriage....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    The essence of statesmanship is not a rigid adherence to the past, but a prudent and probing concern for the future.
    Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)

    I found a dimpled spider, fat and white,
    On a white heal-all, holding up a moth
    Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth—
    Assorted characters of death and blight
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
