Famous quotes containing the word injurious:
“Bright light is injurious to those who see nothing.”
—Aurelius Clemens Prudentius (c. 348–405)
“The American doctrinaire is the converse of the American demagogue, and, in this way, is scarcely less injurious to the public. The first deals in poetry, the last in cant. He is as much a visionary on one side, as the extreme theoretical democrat is a visionary on the other.”
—James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)
“An injurious lie is an uncommendable thing; and so, also, and in the same degree, is an injurious truth.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
