Famous quotes containing the word sleepy:

    “The most intellectual of men are moved quite as much by the circumstances which they are used to as by their own will. The active voluntary part of a man is very small, and if it were not economised by a sleepy kind of habit, its results would be null.”
    —Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
