ANDREW MICHAEL RAMSAY (CHEVALIER DE RAMSAY) Scottish author (1686 - 1743) Custom, which diminishes the intense, increases the moderate, pleasures.       - [Custom] Great events are the hour-hands of time, while small events mark the minutes.       - [Time] Life is a race; desire the goal.       - [Desire] Passions are like storms which, full of present mischief, serve to purify the atmosphere.       - [Passion] We content ourselves to present to thinking minds the original seeds from whence spring vast fields of new thought, that may be further cultivated, beautified, and enlarged.       - [Apothegms] Last Revised: 2008 April 9 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
