Famous quotes containing the words current and/or disposition:
“Absolutely speaking, Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you is by no means a golden rule, but the best of current silver. An honest man would have but little occasion for it. It is golden not to have any rule at all in such a case.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“That good disposition which boasts of being most tender is often stifled by the least urging of self-interest.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
