Shaken

Famous quotes containing the word shaken:

    Self-pity comes so naturally to all of us, that the most solid happiness can be shaken by the compassion of a fool.
    André Maurois (1885–1967)

    And now the sparrows warring in the eaves,
    The curd-pale moon, the white stars in the sky,
    And the loud chaunting of the unquiet leaves,
    Are shaken with earth’s old and weary cry.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    There are two things which cannot be attacked in front: ignorance and narrow-mindedness. They can only be shaken by the simple development of the contrary qualities. They will not bear discussion.
    John Emerich Edward Dalberg, 1st Baron Acton (1834–1902)
