Famous quotes containing the word finds:

    “The trail of the serpent reaches into all the lucrative professions and practices of man. Each has its own wrongs. Each finds a tender and very intelligent conscience a disqualification for success. Each requires of the practitioner a certain shutting of the eyes, a certain dapperness and compliance, an acceptance of customs, a sequestration from the sentiments of generosity and love, a compromise of private opinion and lofty integrity.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “As one who strives a hill to climb,
    Who never climbed before:
    Who finds it in a little time,
    Grow every moment less sublime,
    And votes the thing a bore:”
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    “A man seldom finds people unthankful, as long as he remains in a condition of benefiting them further.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
