Famous quotes containing the word events:

    “Custom, then, is the great guide of human life. It is that principle alone, which renders our experience useful to us, and makes us expect, for the future, a similar train of events with those which have appeared in the past.”
    —David Hume (1711–1776)

    “One of the extraordinary things about human events is that the unthinkable becomes thinkable.”
    —Salman Rushdie (b. 1948)

    “On the most profitable lie, the course of events presently lays a destructive tax; whilst frankness invites frankness, puts the parties on a convenient footing, and makes their business a friendship.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
