Famous quotes containing the words basic and/or facts:
“It is easier to move rivers and mountains than to change a person’s basic nature.”
—Chinese proverb.
“These facts have always suggested to man the sublime creed that the world is not the product of manifold power, but of one will, of one mind; and that one mind is everywhere active, in each ray of the star, in each wavelet of the pool; and whatever opposes that will is everywhere balked and baffled, because things are made so, and not otherwise.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
