Sleepy Jackson

Famous quotes containing the words sleepy and/or jackson:

    The most intellectual of men are moved quite as much by the circumstances which they are used to as by their own will. The active voluntary part of a man is very small, and if it were not economised by a sleepy kind of habit, its results would be null.
    Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

    Although I could lament in the language and feelings of David for Absalom, I am constrained to say, peace to his manes. Let us weep for the living, and not for the dead.
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
