“I can't say I hate cats, but holy cow, dogs are a horse of another color.”
“Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters; / Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed: / But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.”
Bible
“Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;”
“We may not always oblige, but we may always speak obligingly”
Voltaire
“Circumstance - which moves by laws of its own, regardless of parties and policies, and whose decrees are final and must be obeyed by all - and will be”
Mark Twain
“By law of periodical repetition, everything which has happened once must happen again and again -- and not capriciously, but at regular periods, and each thing in its own period, not another's and each obeying its own law.”
