Rush Quotations
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. Alexander Pope If you leave the smallest corner of your head vacant for a moment, other people's opinions will rush in from all quarters. George Bernard Shaw The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone. George Eliot The fact is that violence gives you a rush. Penn Jillette When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not. Georgia O'Keeffe |
