Calm

Famous quotes containing the word calm:

    True enough, the country is calm. Calm as a morgue or a grave, would you not say?
    Václav Havel (b. 1936)

    In Russia, whatever be the appearance of things, violence and arbitrary rule is at the bottom of them all. Tyranny rendered calm by the influence of terror is the only kind of happiness which this government is able to afford its people.
    Marquis De Custine (1790–1857)

    In the years of President Ford
    Decorum and calm were restored.
    He did nothing hateful
    For which we were grateful
    But terribly, terribly bored.
    Anonymous.
