Set

Famous quotes containing the word set:

    Persons who insist to themselves that under one set of conditions only can they lead interesting and satisfying lives lay themselves open to bitter disappointments and frustrations.

    But now I see I was not plucked for naught,
    And after in life’s vase
    Of glass set while I might survive,
    But by a kind hand brought
    Alive
    To a strange place.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    If you set to work to believe everything, you will tire out the believing-muscles of your mind, and then you’ll be so weak you won’t be able to believe the simplest true things.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
