Famous quotes containing the word feeling:
“When people put their ballots in the boxes, they are, by that act, inoculated against the feeling that the government is not theirs. They then accept, in some measure, that its errors are their errors, its aberrations their aberrations, that any revolt will be against them. It’s a remarkably shrewed and rather conservative arrangement when one thinks of it.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“Morality is the custom of one’s country and the current feeling of one’s peers. Cannibalism is moral in a cannibal country.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“It requires nothing less than a chivalric feeling to sustain a conversation with a lady.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
