Perfect Powers

Famous quotes containing the words perfect and/or powers:

    You are disdainful and magnificent—
    Your perfect body and your pompous gait,
    Your dark eyes flashing solemnly with hate,
    Helene Johnson (b. 1907)

    Everyone confesses in the abstract that exertion which brings out all the powers of body and mind is the best thing for us all; but practically most people do all they can to get rid of it, and as a general rule nobody does much more than circumstances drive them to do.
    Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
