Generally

Famous quotes containing the word generally:

“The note of the white-throated sparrow, a very inspiriting but almost wiry sound, was first heard in the morning, and with this all the woods rang. This was the prevailing bird in the northern part of Maine. The forest generally was alive with them at this season, and they were proportionally numerous and musical about Bangor. They evidently breed in that State.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Husbands and wives generally understand when opposition will be vain.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)

“That we should practise what we preach is generally admitted; but anyone who preaches what he and his hearers practise must incur the gravest moral disapprobation.”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
