Rule

Famous quotes containing the word rule:

    Mothers easily become jealous of their sons’ friends when they are particularly successful. As a rule a mother loves herself in her son more than she does the son himself.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    The first rule of venture capitalism should be Shoot the Inventor.
    Richard, Sir Storey (b. 1937)

    Therefore doth heaven divide
    The state of man in divers functions,
    Setting endeavor in continual motion,
    To which is fixed, as an aim or butt,
    Obedience; for so work the honeybees,
    Creatures that by a rule in nature teach
    The act of order to a peopled kingdom.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
