The first are states of opinion, and consist in representations; the second are determined modes of action  (Rites Quotes) I, schooled in misery, know many purifying rites, and I know where speech is proper and where silence  (Rites Quotes) As happens with sports and hobbies, his enjoyment was solemnized by expertise, the rites of comparing, collating, a half-deliberate parody of scholarship like the recitation of batting averages  (Rites Quotes) While just government protects all in their religious rites, true religion affords government its surest support  (Rites Quotes) When many people are killed, they should be mourned and lamented. Those who are victorious in war should follow the rites of funerals  (Rites Quotes)
