Famous quotes containing the words native, character and/or set:
“It is fair to assume that when women in the past have achieved even a second or third place in the ranks of genius they have shown far more native ability than men have needed to reach the same eminence. Not excused from the more general duties that constitute the cement of society, most women of talent have had but one hand free with which to work out their ideal conceptions.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
“Our character is not so much the product of race and heredity as of those circumstances by which nature forms our habits, by which we are nurtured and live.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
“Groot: Now wait a minute, Quo. You really ain’t gonna take a man’s only set of teeth, are ya?

Groot: Yeah, but I gotta use ‘em for eatin’.
Quo: Come grub you get ‘em.
Groot: Whad ya’ gonna do with ‘em?
Quo: My name now Two-Jaw Quo.”
—Borden Chase [Frank Fowler] (1900–1971)
