Famous quotes containing the word finds:

    Returned this day, the south wind searches,
    And finds young pines and budding birches;
    But finds not the budding man.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Whoever undertakes to create soon finds himself engaged in creating himself. Self-transformation and the transformation of others have constituted the radical interest of our century, whether in painting, psychiatry, or political action.
    Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)

    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)
