Sits

Famous quotes containing the word sits:

“It is a mighty error to suppose that none but violent and strong passions, such as love and ambition, are able to vanquish the rest. Even idleness, as feeble and languishing as it is, sometimes reigns over them; it usurps the throne and sits paramount over all the designs and actions of our lives, and imperceptibly wastes and destroys all our passions and all our virtues.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

“The big toad sits in my writing room
preventing me from writing. I am a flower
who dries out under her hot breath.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“One who only sits idle and eats can exhaust a mountain of wealth.”
—Chinese proverb.
