Famous quotes containing the word forming:

    Piety is the fermentation of the forming mind and the putrefaction of the disintegrating one.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    The structure was designed by an old sea captain who believed that the world would end in a flood. He built a home in the traditional shape of the Ark, inverted, with the roof forming the hull of the proposed vessel. The builder expected that the deluge would cause the house to topple and then reverse itself, floating away on its roof until it should land on some new Ararat.
    —For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    I heartily wish you, in the plain home-spun style, a great number of happy new years, well employed in forming both your mind and your manners, to be useful and agreeable to yourself, your country, and your friends.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
