Berkeley City Council

Famous quotes containing the words berkeley, city and/or council:

    It is a mistake, to think the same thing affects both sight and touch. If the same angle or square, which is the object of touch, be also the object of vision, what should hinder the blind man, at first sight, from knowing it?
    —George Berkeley (1685–1753)

    Follow good people and you will learn to be good; follow beggars and you will sleep outside the city gates.
    Chinese proverb.

    There by some wrinkled stones round a leafless tree
    With beards askew, their eyes dull and wild
    Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
    Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
