Famous quotes containing the word finds:

    Every one finds by his own experience, as well as in history, that the era in which men cultivate the apple, and the amenities of the garden, is essentially different from that of the hunter and forest life, and neither can displace the other without loss.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A man with convictions finds an answer for everything. Convictions are the best form of protection against the living truth.
    Max Frisch (1911–1991)

    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)
