Quote by Spiro T. Agnew

Three things have been difficult to tame: the oceans, fools and women. We may soon be able to tame the oceans; fools and women will take a little longer.

Three things have been difficult to tame: the oceans, fools

Summary

This quote suggests that throughout history, taming the vastness and unpredictability of the oceans has been a challenging endeavor, but through technological advancements, humans may soon conquer this. However, it metaphorically points out that understanding or controlling the behaviors of fools and women may require more time and effort. It implies that fools and women, representing unpredictable or hard-to-grasp elements of human nature, remain complex to manage or comprehend, potentially implying the persistent need for patience and understanding before fully understanding their dynamics.

To supress them all and follow clock and calendar and creed until the individual is lost in the neutral grey of the host is to be less than true to our inheritance.... Life, that gorgeous quality of life, is not accomplished by following another man's rules. It is true we have the same hungers and same thirsts, but they are for different things and in different ways and in different seasons.... Lay down your own day, follow it to its noon, your own noon, or you will sit in an outer hall listening to the chimes but never reaching high enough to strike your own.
