True Position

Famous quotes containing the words true and/or position:

“Most men would feel shame if caught preparing with their own hands precisely such a dinner, whether of animal or vegetable food, as is every day prepared for them by others.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“People who are in a fortunate position always attribute virtue to what makes them so happy.”
