Famous quotes containing the words task and/or force:

    They talk about a woman’s sphere,
    As though it had a limit.
    There’s not a place in earth or heaven.
    There’s not a task to mankind given ...
    Without a woman in it.
    Kate Field (1838–1896)

    Nations do not think, they only feel. They get their feelings at second hand through their temperaments, not their brains. A nation can be brought—by force of circumstances, not argument—to reconcile itself to any kind of government or religion that can be devised; in time it will fit itself to the required conditions; later it will prefer them and will fiercely fight for them.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
