Famous quotes containing the words public and/or perception:
“Take example by your father, my boy, and be wery careful o’ vidders all your life, specially if they’ve kept a public house, Sammy.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“The most evident difference between man and animals is this: the beast, in as much as it is largely motivated by the senses and with little perception of the past or future, lives only for the present. But man, because he is endowed with reason by which he is able to perceive relationships, sees the causes of things, understands the reciprocal nature of cause and effect, makes analogies, easily surveys the whole course of his life, and makes the necessary preparations for its conduct.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
