Famous quotes containing the word terms:
“I’ve never been on good terms with God, but now I’m becoming His intimate, for He is truly absolute and extremely legitimate.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Again we have here two distinctions that are no distinctions, but made to seem so by terms invented by I know not whom to cover ignorance, and blind the understanding of the reader: for it cannot be conceived that there is any liberty greater, than for a man to do what he will.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“Suppose you go to war, you cannot fight always; and when, after much loss on both sides, and no gain on either, you cease fighting, the identical old questions, as to terms of intercourse, are again upon you.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
