True Position

Famous quotes containing the words true and/or position:

“It is only the unimaginative who ever invents. The true artist is known by the use he makes of what he annexes.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“I repeat, sir, that in whatever position you place a woman she is an ornament to society and a treasure to the world. As a sweetheart, she has few equals and no superiors; as a cousin, she is convenient; as a wealthy grandmother with an incurable distemper, she is precious; as a wet-nurse, she has no equal among men. What, sir, would the people of the earth be without woman? They would be scarce, sir, almighty scarce.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
