Famous quotes containing the word finds:

    “We may love and not elevate one another. The love that takes us as it finds us degrades us.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Nor envy’s snaky eye, finds harbour here,
    Nor flatterers’ venomous insinuations,
    Nor cunning humorists’ puddled opinions,
    Nor courteous ruin of proffered usury,
    Nor time prattled away, cradle of ignorance,
    Nor causeless duty, nor comber of arrogance,
    Nor trifling title of vanity dazzleth us,
    Nor golden manacles stand for a paradise;”
    —Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    “A man seldom finds people unthankful, as long as he remains in a condition of benefiting them further.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
