Set

Famous quotes containing the word set:

    There are twenty ways of going to a point, and one is the shortest; but set out at once on one. A man who has that presence of mind which can bring to him on the instant all he knows, is worth for action a dozen men who know as much, but can only bring it to light slowly.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    It is ... despair at the mutability of all created things that links the Artist and the Ascetic—a desire to purify and preserve—to set oneself apart—somehow—from the river flowing onward to the grave.
    Michele Murray (1933–1974)

    The time is out of joint. O cursèd spite
    That ever I was born to set it right!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
