Broad Subject Fields

Famous quotes containing the words broad, subject and/or fields:

    It will be no excuse to an idle and untoward servant, who would not attend his business by candle-light, to plead that he had not broad sun-shine. The candle, that is set up in us, shines bright enough for all our purposes.
    John Locke (1632–1704)

    Religion is by no means a proper subject of conversation in mixed company; it should only be treated among a very few people of learning, for mutual instruction. It is too awful and respectable a subject to become a familiar one.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    I thought it would last my time
    The sense that, beyond the town,
    There would always be fields and farms....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
