Live Birth Rate

Famous quotes containing the words live, birth and/or rate:

    There is not a more prudent maxim, than to live with one’s enemies as if they may one day become one’s friends; as it commonly happens, sooner or later, in the vicissitudes of political affairs.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    The passions do very often give birth to others of a nature most contrary to their own. Thus avarice sometimes brings forth prodigality, and prodigality avarice; a man’s resolution is very often the effect of levity, and his boldness that of cowardice and fear.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    If I die prematurely at any rate I shall be saved from being bored to death at my own success.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
