Rule

Famous quotes containing the word rule:

    Every writing career starts as a personal quest for sainthood, for self-betterment. Sooner or later, and as a rule quite soon, a man discovers that his pen accomplishes a lot more than his soul.
    Joseph Brodsky (b. 1940)

    As an example to others, and not that I care for moderation myself, it has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep, and never to refrain from smoking when awake.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Democracy don’t rule the world,
    You’d better get that in your head;
    This world is ruled by violence
    But I guess that’s better left unsaid.
    Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
