Generally

Famous quotes containing the word generally:

“Those who have least to do are generally the most busy people in the world.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

“Though Americans talk a good deal about the virtue of being serious, they generally prefer people who are solemn over people who are serious. In politics, the rare candidate who is serious, like Adlai Stevenson, is easily overwhelmed by one who is solemn, like General Eisenhower. This is probably because it is hard for most people to recognize seriousness, which is rare, especially in politics, but comfortable to endorse solemnity, which is as commonplace as jogging.”
—Russell Baker (b. 1925)

“Men of integrity are generally pretty obstinate, in adhering to an opinion once adopted.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
