Allowance

Anne Stuart Author

"She tried to allow herself only one biting remark an hour, and she had already overstepped her allowance."

George Eliot Novelist, Poet, Journalist

"Everybody liked better to conjecture how the thing was, than simply to know it; for conjecture soon became more confident than knowledge, and had a more liberal allowance for the incompatible."

John Locke Philosopher, Physician

"Virtue is everywhere that which is thought praiseworthy; and nothing else but that which has the allowance of public esteem is called virtue."
