Famous quotes containing the word results:

    “Different persons growing up in the same language are like different bushes trimmed and trained to take the shape of identical elephants. The anatomical details of twigs and branches will fulfill the elephantine form differently from bush to bush, but the overall outward results are alike.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    “Social improvement is attained more readily by a concern with the quality of results than with the purity of motives.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    “Consider what you have in the smallest chosen library. A company of the wisest and wittiest men that could be picked out of all civil countries in a thousand years have set in best order the results of their learning and wisdom. The men themselves were hid and inaccessible, solitary, impatient of interruption, fenced by etiquette; but the thought which they did not uncover in their bosom friend is here written out in transparent words to us, the strangers of another age.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
