Famous quotes containing the word exception:

    For a parent, it’s hard to recognize the significance of your work when you’re immersed in the mundane details. Few of us, as we run the bath water or spread the peanut butter on the bread, proclaim proudly, “I’m making my contribution to the future of the planet.” But with the exception of global hunger, few jobs in the world of paychecks and promotions compare in significance to the job of parent.
    Joyce Maynard (20th century)

    The ways by which you may get money almost without exception lead downward. To have done anything by which you earned money merely is to have been truly idle or worse.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    There are those who would build the Temple,
    And those who prefer that the Temple should not be built.
    In the days of Nehemiah the Prophet
    There was no exception to the general rule.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
