Famous quotes containing the words flexible and/or wing:
“Freedom is the essence of this faith. It has for its object simply to make men good and wise. Its institutions then should be as flexible as the wants of men. That form out of which the life and suitableness have departed should be as worthless in its eyes as the dead leaves that are falling around us.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The evils of mortals are manifold; nowhere is trouble of the same wing seen.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
