—Corinne Roosevelt Robinson (1861–1933)
“Silence is to all creatures thus attacked the only means of salvation; it fatigues the Cossack charges of the envious, the enemy’s savage ruses; it results in a cruising and complete victory.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“The study and knowledge of the universe would somehow be lame and defective were no practical results to follow.”
