Household Tools

Famous quotes containing the words household and/or tools:

    One rational voice is dumb: over a grave
    The household of Impulse mourns one dearly loved.
    Sad is Eros, builder of cities,
    And weeping anarchic Aphrodite.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    The besetting sin of able men is impatience of contradiction and of criticism. Even those who do their best to resist the temptation, yield to it almost unconsciously and become the tools of toadies and flatterers. “Authorities,” “disciples,” and “schools” are the curse of science and do more to interfere with the work of the scientific spirit than all its enemies.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
