Rarely

Famous quotes containing the word rarely:

    It must be confessed that horses at present work too exclusively for men, rarely men for horses; and the brute degenerates in man’s society.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Surely the fates are forever kind, though Nature’s laws are more immutable than any despot’s, yet to man’s daily life they rarely seem rigid, but permit him to relax with license in summer weather. He is not harshly reminded of the things he may not do.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Somewhere slightly before or after the close of our second decade, we reach a momentous milestone—childhood’s end. We have left a safe place and can’t go home again. We have moved into a world where life isn’t fair, where life is rarely what it should be.
    Judith Viorst (20th century)
