Famous quotes containing the words general and/or usage:
“Amid the pressure of great events, a general principle gives no help.”

Might be filled up, as vainly as before,
With the sad usage of all sorts of sages,
Who in his life-time, each was deemed a bore!
The loftiest minds outrun their tardy ages.”
