My argument has always been that nature has a master plan pushing every species toward procreation and that it is our right and even obligation as rational human beings to defy nature's fascism.

strong jobs men
No two things differ more than hurry and dispatch. Hurry is the mark of a weak mind, dispatch of a strong one. A weak man in office, like a squirrel in a cage, is laboring eternally, but to no purpose, and is in constant motion without getting on a job; like a turnstile, he is in everybody's way, but stops nobody; he talks a great deal, but says very little; looks into everything but sees nothing; and has a hundred irons in the fire, but very few of them are hot, and with those few that are, he only burns his fingers. Charles Caleb Colton
strong mind haste
Hurry is the mark of a weak mind, dispatch of a strong one. Charles Caleb Colton
strong party reason
He that aspires to be the head of a party will find it more difficult to please his friends than to perplex his foes. He must often act from false reasons which are weak, because he dares not avow the true reasons which are strong. Charles Caleb Colton
strong hands monsters
The mob is a monster, with the hands of Briareus, but the head of Polyphemus,--strong to execute, but blind to perceive. Charles Caleb Colton
strong advice desire
When we feel a strong desire to thrust our advice upon others, it is usually because we suspect their weakness; but we ought rather to suspect our own. Charles Caleb Colton
strong passion may
Strong as our passions are, they may be starved into submission, and conquered without being killed. Charles Caleb Colton
strong men thinking
Men of strong minds and who think for themselves, should not be discouraged on finding occasionally that some of their best ideas have been anticipated by former writers; they will neither anathematize others nor despair themselves. They will rather go on discovering things before discovered, until they are rewarded with a land hitherto unknown, an empire indisputably their own, both right of conquest and of discovery. Charles Caleb Colton
strong circles errors
Unity of opinion is indeed a glorious and desirable thing, and its circle cannot be too strong and extended, if the centre be truth; but if the centre be error, the greater the circumference, the greater the evil. Charles Caleb Colton
strong two mind
No two things differ more than hurry and despatch. Hurry is the mark of a weak mind; despatch of a strong one. Charles Caleb Colton

Then tell Wind and Fire where to stop," returned madame; "but don't tell me. Charles Dickens
wind rising sawdust
It had grown darker as they talked, and the wind was sawing and the sawdust was whirling outside paler windows. The underlying churchyard was already settling into deep dim shade, and the shade was creeping up to the housetops among which they sat. "As if," said Eugene, "as if the churchyard ghosts were rising." Charles Dickens
