Break

Famous quotes containing the word break:

“This socialism will develop in all its phases until it reaches its own extremes and absurdities. Then once again a cry of denial will break from the titanic chest of the revolutionary minority and again a mortal struggle will begin, in which socialism will play the role of contemporary conservatism and will be overwhelmed in the subsequent revolution, as yet unknown to us.”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)

“A prince never lacks legitimate reasons to break his promise.”
—Niccolò Machiavelli (1469–1527)

“Saint, saintliness is a long way off.
It is like a tall and beautiful palm tree.
If you climb it, you drink the love potion,
but if you fall you break into pieces.”
—Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.
