Relation Quotations
Politics have no relation to morals. Niccolo Machiavelli The most happy man is he who knows how to bring into relation the end and beginning of his life. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance. Henry David Thoreau Wit is the sudden marriage of ideas which before their union were not perceived to have any relation. Mark Twain The typewriting machine, when played with expression, is no more annoying than the piano when played by a sister or near relation. Oscar Wilde |
