Famous quotes containing the words chief, constable and/or sir:
“The will is one of the chief factors in belief, not that it creates belief, but because things are true or false according to the aspect in which we look at them. The will, which prefers one aspect to another, turns away the mind from considering the qualities of all that it does not like to see; and thus the mind, moving in accord with the will, stops to consider the aspect which it likes and so judges by what it sees.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“I do love thee as each flower
Loves the sun’s life-giving power,
For, dead, thy breath to life might move me.”
—Henry Constable (1562–1613)
“That sir which serves and seeks for gain,
And follows but for form,
Will pack when it begins to rain,
And leave thee in the storm.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
