Famous quotes containing the word rushes:
“Every one rushes elsewhere and into the future, because no one wants to face one’s own inner self.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“No legislation can suppress nature; all life rushes to reproduction; our procreative faculties are matured early, while passion is strong, and judgment and self-restraint weak. We cannot alter this, but we can alter what is conventional. We can refuse to brand an act of nature as a crime, and to impute to vice what is due to ignorance.”
—Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)
“The one who rushes ahead hastily will probably fall behind.”
—Chinese proverb.
Mencius.
