Readily

Famous quotes containing the word readily:

    Those services which the community will most readily pay for, it is most disagreeable to render.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    It took nine years, and a great depression, and two wars ending in defeat, and one surrender without war, to break my faith in the benign power of the press. Gradually I came to realize that people will more readily swallow lies than truth, as if the taste of lies was homey, appetizing: a habit.
    Martha Gellhorn (b. 1908)

    I found that they knew but little of the history of their race, and could be entertained by stories about their ancestors as readily as any way.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
