Invariable

Famous quotes containing the word invariable:

    Truth, but not the whole truth, must be the invariable principle of every man who hath either religion, honour, or prudence. Those who violate it, may be cunning, but they are not able. Lies and perfidy are the refuge of fools and cowards.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    As in geology, so in social institutions, we may discover the causes of all past changes in the present invariable order of society.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Let this be one invariable rule of your conduct—never to show the least symptom of resentment, which you cannot, to a certain degree, gratify; but always to smile, where you cannot strike.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
