Famous quotes containing the words general and/or usage:
“To have in general but little feeling, seems to be the only security against feeling too much on any particular occasion.”

“Pythagoras, Locke, Socrates—but pages
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.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
