Famous quotes containing the words david, bentley and/or hart:

    For what are the classics but the noblest thoughts of man? They are the only oracles which are not decayed, and there are such answers to the most modern inquiry in them as Delphi and Dodona never gave. We might as well omit to study Nature because she is old.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    He followed in his father’s footsteps, but his gait was somewhat erratic.
    —Nicolas Bentley (1907–1978)

    Conditional love is love that is turned off and on....Some parents only show their love after a child has done something that pleases them. “I love you, honey, for cleaning your room!” Children who think they need to earn love become people pleasers, or perfectionists. Those who are raised on conditional love never really feel loved.
    —Louise Hart (20th century)
