Famous quotes containing the words complete, list and/or nag:
“The Good of man is the active exercise of his souls faculties in conformity with excellence or virtue.... Moreover this activity must occupy a complete lifetime; for one swallow does not make spring, nor does one fine day; and similarly one day or a brief period of happiness does not make a man supremely blessed and happy.”
—Aristotle (384322 B.C.)
“The advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (18411935)
“... able to
Mend measles, nag noses, blast blisters
And all day waste wordful girls
And war-boys, and all day
Say Oh God!”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
