Weak Parties

Famous quotes containing the words weak and/or parties:

    Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. What a man thinks of himself, that it is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Like other parties of the kind, it was first silent, then talky, then argumentative, then disputatious, then unintelligible, then altogethery, then inarticulate, and then drunk. When we had reached the last step of this glorious ladder, it was difficult to get down again without stumbling.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
