Famous quotes containing the word foundations:
“As men’s habits of mind differ, so that some more readily embrace one form of faith, some another, for what moves one to pray may move another to scoff, I conclude ... that everyone should be free to choose for himself the foundations of his creed, and that faith should be judged only by its fruits.”
—Baruch (Benedict)
“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
