Rarely

Famous quotes containing the word rarely:

    All things being equal, I would choose a woman over a man in order to even the balance of power, to insinuate a different perspective into the process, to give young women something to shoot for and someone to look up to. But all things are rarely equal.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    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)

    What Congress and the popular sentiment approve is rarely defeated by reason of constitutional objections. I trust the measure will turn out well. It is a great relief to me. Defeat in this way, after a full and public hearing before this [Electoral] Commission, is not mortifying in any degree, and success will be in all respects more satisfactory.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
