Apprehensive Quotations
A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side. Aristotle My disorder has been attended with several symptoms of a consumption; and I have been at times apprehensive that my great change was at hand: yet blessed be God, I have never been affrighted; but, on the contrary, at times much delighted with a view of its approach. David Brainerd I was apprehensive. I feared every time I talked about poetry, it would be filtered through the lens of race, sex, and age. Rita Dove Persons who have been homeless carry within them a certain philosophy of life which makes them apprehensive about ownership. Jerzy Kosinski Sometimes the only way to make palatable that which is appalling and apprehensive is to season it with some humor. Terrence Howard |
