Active

Famous quotes containing the word active:

“I have ever deemed it fundamental for the United States never to take active part in the quarrels of Europe. Their political interests are entirely distinct from ours.

—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

“You need not be proud of me.... I’m only being active till you can be again—it isn’t such a great desire on my part to serve the world and I’ll fall back into habits of sloth quite easily!”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)

“Why indeed must “God” be a noun? Why not a verb—the most active and dynamic of all.”
