Famous quotes containing the words final and/or disposition:
“Dignity: the doomed man’s final refuge.”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
“The Englishman’s strong point is his vigorous insularity; that of the American his power of adaptation. Each of these attitudes has its perils. The Englishman stands firmly on his feet, but he who merely does this never advances. The American’s disposition is to step forward even at the risk of a fall.”
—Thomas Wentworth Higginson (1823–1911)
