Famous quotes containing the word foundation:

    I believe that the mind can be permanently profaned by the habit of attending to trivial things, so that all our thoughts shall be tinged with triviality. Our very intellect shall be macadamized, as it were,—its foundation broken into fragments for the wheels of travel to roll over.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    To apologize is to lay the foundation for a future offense.
    Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)

    Surely the only sound foundation for a civilization is a sound state of mind.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
