Exercise Discretion

Famous quotes containing the words exercise and/or discretion:

    When a girl of today leaves school or college and looks about her for material upon which to exercise her trained intelligence, there are a hundred things that force themselves upon her attention as more vital and necessary than mastering the housewife.

    All earthly things is but vanity:
    Beauty, Strength, and Discretion do man forsake,
    Foolish friends and kinsmen, that fair spake—
    All fleeth save Good Deeds, and that am I.
    Unknown. Everyman (l. 870–873)
