Famous quotes containing the words brain and/or foundation:
“When our brain feels too weak to deal with our opponent’s objections, our heart answers by casting suspicion on their underlying motives.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The Bermudas are said to have been discovered by a Spanish ship of that name which was wrecked on them.... Yet at the very first planting of them with some sixty persons, in 1612, the first governor, the same year, “built and laid the foundation of eight or nine forts.” To be ready, one would say, to entertain the first ship’s company that should be next shipwrecked on to them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
