Trivial Local

Famous quotes containing the words trivial and/or local:

“The elixir of life, the philosopher’s stone
is yours if you surrender
sterile logic, trivial reason.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“Civility, which is a disposition to accommodate and oblige others, is essentially the same in every country; but good breeding, as it is called, which is the manner of exerting that disposition, is different in almost every country, and merely local; and every man of sense imitates and conforms to that local good breeding of the place which he is at.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
