In vain sedate reflections we would make When half our knowledge we must snatch, not take.
Alexander Pope

David Bowie

Sad people dislike the happy, and the happy the sad the quick thinking the sedate, and the careless the busy and industrious.
Horace

The good, supreme, divine poetry is above the rules and reason. Whoever discerns its beauty with a firm, sedate gaze does not see it, any more than he sees the splendor of a lightning flash. It does not persuade our judgement, it ravishes and overwhelms it.
Michel de Montaigne

Walter Savage Landor

Alexander Hamilton

In general, it's not too hard to corrupt an American, mostly a matter of supply to their demand. Supply should be variegated to encourage the Illusion of Choice. Other than that they're looking for numbness, so be ready to sedate. Drugs, booze, television, shopping, etc.
Geoffrey Wood
Image
Disputation carries away the mind from that calm and sedate temper which is so necessary to contemplate truth.
Isaac Watts

Gymnastics is the type of sport where you can't take something that gives you more energy. Something may be great for the vault, but then you have the bars after it and you have to be more sedate for that.
Shannon Miller
