Famous quotes containing the word source:

    “There often seems to be a playfulness to wise people, as if either their equanimity has as its source this playfulness or the playfulness flows from the equanimity; and they can persuade other people who are in a state of agitation to calm down and manage a smile.”
    —Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
