Called Due

Famous quotes containing the words called and/or due:

“All generous minds have a horror of what are commonly called “facts.” They are the brute beasts of the intellectual domain. Who does not know fellows that always have an ill-conditioned fact or two that they lead after them into decent company like so many bull-dogs, ready to let them slip at every ingenious suggestion, or convenient generalization, or pleasant fancy? I allow no “facts” at this table.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

“Everything is good in due measure and strong sensations know not measure.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
