Tie

Famous quotes containing the word tie:

    Don’t tie your shoes in a melon patch, and don’t adjust your hat under a plum tree.
    Chinese proverb.

    Not because Socrates has said it, but because it is really in my nature, and perhaps a little more than it should be, I look upon all humans as my fellow-citizens, and would embrace a Pole as I would a Frenchman, subordinating this national tie to the common and universal one.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
