Famous quotes containing the words moss and/or reserve:
“The true doctrine of omnipresence is, that God reappears with all his parts in every moss and cobweb.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Mutual repect implies discretion and reserve even in love itself; it means preserving as much liberty as possible to those whose life we share. We must distrust our instinct of intervention, for the desire to make one’s own will prevail is often disguised under the mask of solicitude.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
