Reflection

Famous quotes containing the word reflection:

“Women generally should be taught that the rough life men must needs lead, in order to be healthy, useful and manly men, would preclude the possibility of a great degree of physical perfection, especially in color. It is not a bad reflection to know that in all probability the human animal has endowments enough without aspiring to be the beauty of all creation as well as the ruler.”
—Caroline Nichols Churchill (1833–?)

“In the last analysis, love is only the reflection of a man’s own worthiness from other men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Men should pledge themselves to nothing; for reflection makes a liar of their resolution.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
