Generally

Famous quotes containing the word generally:

    Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    It’s the generally accepted privilege of theologians to stretch the heavens, that is the Scriptures, like tanners with a hide.
    Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)

    Kasper Gutman: You’re a closemouthed man?
    Sam Spade: Un, un. I like to talk.
    Gutman: Better and better. I distrust a closemouthed man. He generally picks the wrong time to talk and says the wrong things. Talking is something you can’t do judiciously unless you keep in practice.
    John Huston (1906–1987)
