Famous quotes containing the words conference and/or instability:
“For 350 years we have been taught that reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man and writing an exact man. Football’s place is to add a patina of character, a deference to the rules and a respect for authority.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
“With one more talent one frequently stands with greater instability than with one less, as a table stands better on three legs than on four.”
