Famous quotes containing the word rules:

    It was one of the rules which above all others made Doctr. Franklin the most amiable man in society, “never to contradict any body.”
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    ... a large portion of success is derived from flexibility. It is all very well to have principles, rules of behavior concerning right and wrong. But it is quite as essential to know when to forget as when to use them.
    Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)

    Those rules of old discovered, not devised,
    Are Nature sill, but Nature methodized;
    Nature, like liberty, is but restrained
    By the same laws which first herself ordained.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
