Exercise Held

Famous quotes containing the words exercise and/or held:

“To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled—because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“It is my birthday,
I had thought t’ have held it poor; but since my lord
Is Antony again, I will be Cleopatra.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
