Famous quotes containing the word stick:
“The Indian remarked as before, “Must have hard wood to cook moose-meat,” as if that were a maxim, and proceeded to get it. My companion cooked some in California fashion, winding a long string of the meat round a stick and slowly turning it in his hand before the fire. It was very good. But the Indian, not approving of the mode, or because he was not allowed to cook it his own way, would not taste it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“That whatever a man says, promises, or resolves in passion he must stick to later on when he is cold and sober—this demand is among the heaviest burdens that weigh on humankind.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Have convictions. Be friendly. Stick to your beliefs as they stick to theirs. Work as hard as they do.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
