Small Animal Track

Famous quotes containing the words small, animal and/or track:

    Optimism is the content of small men in high places.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    Labor came to humanity with the fall from grace and was at best a penitential sacrifice enabling purity through humiliation. Labor was toil, distress, trouble, fatigue—an exertion both painful and compulsory. Labor was our animal condition, struggling to survive in dirt and darkness.
    Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)

    He was good-natured to a degree of weakness, even to tears, upon the slightest occasions. Exceedingly timorous, both personally and politically, dreading the least innovation, and keeping, with a scrupulous timidity, in the beaten track of business as having the safest bottom.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
