Advanced Air Striking

Famous quotes containing the words advanced, air and/or striking:

    I don’t say ‘tis impossible for an impudent man not to rise in the world, but a moderate merit with a large share of impudence is more probable to be advanced than the greatest qualifications without it.
    Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689–1762)

    A straw vote only shows which way the hot air blows.
    O. Henry [William Sydney Porter] (1862–1910)

    To punish drug takers is like a drunk striking the bleary face it sees in the mirror. Drugs will not be brought under control until society itself changes, enabling men to use them as primitive man did: welcoming the visions they provided not as fantasies, but as intimations of a different, and important, level of reality.
    Brian Inglis (b. 1916)
