Famous quotes containing the words berlin and/or defence:
“I long to be out in the sun with no work to be done.”
—Irving Berlin (1888–1989)
“Education must have two foundations—morality as a support for virtue, prudence as a defence for self against the vices of others. By letting the balance incline to the side of morality, you only make dupes or martyrs; by letting it incline to the other, you make calculating egoists.”
—Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
