Steady

Famous quotes containing the word steady:

“Many children grow through adolescence with no ripples whatever and land smoothly and predictably in the adult world with both feet on the ground.

—Stella Chess (20th century)

“Politics should share one purpose with religion: the steady emancipation of the individual through the education of his passions.”

I lack my roastbeef and potato.

A better man was Aristotle,
Pulling steady on the bottle.”
—John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
