Softened Stops

Famous quotes containing the words softened and/or stops:

“[A] sullen-wise Man is as bad as a good-natured Fool. Knowledge, softened with Complacency and good Breeding, will make a Man equally beloved and respected; but when joined with a severe, distant and unsociable Temper, it creates rather Fear than Love.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)

“Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.”
