Bright

Famous quotes containing the word bright:

    Example is a bright looking-glass, universal and for all shapes to look into.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    School-days, I believe, are the unhappiest in the whole span of human existence. They are full of dull, unintelligible tasks, new and unpleasant ordinances, brutal violations of common sense and common decency. It doesn’t take a reasonably bright boy long to discover that most of what is rammed into him is nonsense, and that no one really cares very much whether he learns it or not.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    Nature made the day for exercise, work and seeing to one’s business; and ... it provides us with a candle, which is to say the bright and joyous light of the sun.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)
