Subsist Quotations
Life cannot subsist in society but by reciprocal concessions. Samuel Johnson Thus the creation, which seems an arbitrary act, supposes laws as invariable as those of the fatality of the Atheists. It would be absurd to say that the Creator might govern the world without those rules, since without them it could not subsist. Charles de Secondat The bow cannot always stand bent, nor can human frailty subsist without some lawful recreation. Miguel De Cervantes As states subsist in part by keeping their weaknesses from being known, so is it the quiet of families to have their chancery and their parliament within doors, and to compose and determine all emergent differences there. John Donne A country cannot subsist well without liberty, nor liberty without virtue. Daniel Webster |
