Excessive Saving

Famous quotes containing the words excessive and/or saving:

“Through excessive exertion they put together some free time, and afterwards have no idea what to do with it except to count the hours until they’ve passed.”

“Oh that my Pow’r to Saving were confin’d:
Why am I forc’d, like Heav’n, against my mind,
To make Examples of another Kind?
Must I at length the Sword of Justice draw?
Oh curst Effects of necessary Law!
How ill my Fear they by my Mercy scan,
Beware the Fury of a Patient Man.”
