Additional quotes by Laurence Sterne

Drevni Goti u Germaniji [...] - imađahu jedan mudar zajednički običaj, naime, da o svakoj važnijoj stvari koja se ticala zajednice raspravljaju dvaput; i to - jednom kad su pijani, a drugi put u treznom stanju;- Pijani - da im savetovanje ne bude lišeno snage i odvažnosti;- atrezni - da ne bude lišeno razboritosti i opreznosti.

de lo que se conoce con el nombre de perseverancia cuando la causa es buena, — y con el de obstinación cuando es mala.
