Resting Place

Famous quotes containing the words resting and/or place:

    We judge a horse not only by its pace on a racecourse, but also by its walk, nay, when resting in its stable.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    It has come to be practically a sort of rule in literature, that a man, having once shown himself capable of original writing, is entitled thenceforth to steal from the writings of others at discretion. Thought is the property of him who can entertain it; and of him who can adequately place it. A certain awkwardness marks the use of borrowed thoughts; but, as soon as we have learned what to do with them, they become our own.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
