Thrown

Famous quotes containing the word thrown:

    Being thrown out of this place is significantly better than being thrown out of a leper colony.
    Blake Edwards (b. 1922)

    I believe very profoundly in an over-ruling Providence, and I do not fear that any real plans can be thrown off the track. It may not be intended that I shall be President—but that would not break my heart.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    At the utmost, the active-minded young man should ask of his teacher only mastery of his tools. The young man himself, the subject of education, is a certain form of energy; the object to be gained is economy of his force; the training is partly the clearing away of obstacles, partly the direct application of effort. Once acquired, the tools and models may be thrown away.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
