Famous quotes containing the word suitable:
“If I wished to see a mountain or other scenery under the most favorable auspices, I would go to it in foul weather, so as to be there when it cleared up; we are then in the most suitable mood, and nature is most fresh and inspiring.

—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Not one of our mortal gauges is suitable for evaluating non-existence, for making judgments about that which is not a person.”
