Famous quotes containing the word foundation:

    “Surely the only sound foundation for a civilization is a sound state of mind.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    “... in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquillity will return again.”
    —Anne Frank (1929–1945)

    “But I hate things all fiction ... there should always be some foundation of fact for the most airy fabric—and pure invention is but the talent of a liar.”
    —GGeorge Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
