Famous quotes containing the words thread and/or form:

    “I often wish for the end of the wretched remnant of my life; and that wish is a rational one; but then the innate principle of self-preservation, wisely implanted in our natures, for obvious purposes, opposes that wish, and makes us endeavour to spin out our thread as long as we can, however decayed and rotten it may be.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “The Republican form of government is the highest form of government; but because of this it requires the highest type of human nature—a type nowhere at present existing.”
    —Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)
