Equilibrium Position

Famous quotes containing the words equilibrium and/or position:

    When a person hasn’t in him that which is higher and stronger than all external influences, it is enough for him to catch a good cold in order to lose his equilibrium and begin to see an owl in every bird, to hear a dog’s bark in every sound.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    It is easier to appear worthy of a position one does not hold, than of the office which one fills.
