Famous quotes containing the words partial and/or birth:
“America is hard to see.
Less partial witnesses than he
In book on book have testified
They could not see it from outside....”

“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)
