Famous quotes containing the words stokes, flow and/or sphere:

    Some pray to marry the man they love,
    My prayer will somewhat vary;
    I humbly pray to Heaven above
    That I love the man I marry.
    —Rose Pastor Stokes (1879–1933)

    No care, no stop; so senseless of expense
    That he will neither know how to maintain it
    Nor cease his flow of riot, takes no account
    How things go from him, nor resumes no care
    Of what is to continue.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Every person is responsible for all the good within the scope of his abilities, and for no more, and none can tell whose sphere is the largest.
    Gail Hamilton (1833–1896)
