Fall

Famous quotes containing the word fall:

    The depth and strength of a human character are defined by its moral reserves. People reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life, for only then do they have to fall back on their reserves.
    Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)

    If we must have a tyrant, let him at least be a gentleman who has been bred to the business, and let us fall by the axe and not by the butcher’s cleaver.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    There is special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, ‘tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be
    now; if it be not now, yet it will come—the readiness is
    all.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
