Quotations for suspend

We cannot abolish fate, but we can in a measure utilise it. The projectile force of the bullet does not annul or suspend gravity; it uses it. [ John Burroughs ]

There is nothing more necessary to establish reputation than to suspend the enjoyment of it. He that cannot bear the sense of merit with silence must of necessity destroy it; for fame being the genial mistress of mankind, whoever gives it to himself insults all to whom he relates any circumstance to his own advantage. [ Steele ]
