Positive Sense

Famous quotes containing the words positive and/or sense:

“Property is the fruit of labor—property is desirable—is a positive good in the world.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

“The sense of an entailed disadvantage—the deformed foot doubtfully hidden by the shoe, makes a restlessly active spiritual yeast, and easily turns a self-centred, unloving nature into an Ishmaelite. But in the rarer sort, who presently see their own frustrated claim as one among a myriad, the inexorable sorrow takes the form of fellowship and makes the imagination tender.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
