Solely Incidental

Famous quotes containing the words solely and/or incidental:

    Honor’s thought
    Reigns solely in the breast of every man.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Almost always tradition is nothing but a record and a machine-made imitation of the habits that our ancestors created. The average conservative is a slave to the most incidental and trivial part of his forefathers’ glory—to the archaic formula which happened to express their genius or the eighteenth-century contrivance by which for a time it was served.
    Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
