Famous quotes containing the word views:

    I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    No work of art ever puts forward views. Views belong to people who are not artists.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
