Rule

Famous quotes containing the word rule:

    The rule for every man is, not to depend on the education which other men have prepared for him,—not even to consent to it; but to strive to see things as they are, and to be himself as he is. Defeat lies in self-surrender.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    You will find that reason, which always ought to direct mankind, seldom does; but that passions and weaknesses commonly usurp its seat, and rule in its stead.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    The rule is perfect: in all matters of opinion our adversaries are insane.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
