Light Scattered

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or scattered:

    When it is dark in the east, it is light in the west; when things are dark in the south there is still light in the north.
    Chinese proverb.

    A country is strong which consists of wealthy families, every member of whom is interested in defending a common treasure; it is weak when composed of scattered individuals, to whom it matters little whether they obey seven or one, a Russian or a Corsican, so long as each keeps his own plot of land, blind in their wretched egotism, to the fact that the day is coming when this too will be torn from them.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)
