Social Pressure

Famous quotes containing the words social and/or pressure:

    And our sov’reign sole Creator
    Lives eternal in the sky,
    While we mortals yield to nature,
    Bloom awhile, then fade and die.

    Under the pressure of the cares and sorrows of our mortal condition, men have at all times, and in all countries, called in some physical aid to their moral consolations—wine, beer, opium, brandy, or tobacco.
