Generally Speaking

Famous quotes containing the words generally and/or speaking:

    Take us generally as a people, we are neither lazy nor idle; and considering how little we have to excite or stimulate us, I am almost astonished that there are so many industrious and ambitious ones to be found; although I acknowledge, with extreme sorrow, that there are some who never were and never will be serviceable to society. And have you not a similar class among yourselves?
    Maria Stewart (1803–1879)

    Happy is the hearing man; unhappy the speaking man.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
