Smaller Support Vessels

Famous quotes containing the words smaller, support and/or vessels:

    “The smaller the person, the less we worry about his dignity. Sometimes we even find the idea a little ludicrous as if smallness and inexperience were incompatible with anything so majestic as human dignity....Yet children have a great sense of their own dignity. They couldn’t define what it is but they know when it has been violated.”
    —Leontine Young (20th century)

    “‘Tis not enough to help the feeble up,
    But to support him after.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Just as bones, tissues, intestines, and blood vessels are enclosed in a skin that makes it possible to bear the sight of a human being, so the agitations and passions of the soul are wrapped up in vanity: it is the soul’s skin.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
