Louis Le Prince - Life

Life

"In conclusion, I would say that Mr. Le Prince was in many ways a very extraordinary man, apart from his inventive genius, which was undoubtedly great. He stood 6ft. 3in. or 4in. (190cm) in his stockings, well built in proportion, and he was most gentle and considerate and, though an inventor, of an extremely placid disposition which nothing appeared to ruffle."

Famous quotes containing the word life:

    when this life is from the body fled,
    To see it selfe in that eternall Glasse,
    Where time doth end, and thoughts accuse the dead,
    Where all to come, is one with all that was;
    Then living men aske how he left his breath,
    That while he lived never thought of death.
    Fulke Greville (1554–1628)

    Art is not a treasure in the past or an importation from another land, but part of the present life of all living and creating peoples.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    The ultimate umpire of all things in life is—Fact.
    Agnes C. Laut (1871–1936)
