Famous quotes containing the words spring and/or balance:
“No, no! Go from me. I have still the flavour,
Soft as spring wind that’s come from birchen bowers.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“Partisanship should be kept out of the pulpit.... The blindest of partisans are preachers. All politicians expect and find more candor, fairness, and truth in politicians than in partisan preachers. They are not replied to—no chance to reply to them.... The balance wheel of free institutions is free discussion. The pulpit allows no free discussion.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
