Famous quotes containing the word persons:

    “In our Mechanics’ Fair, there must be not only bridges, ploughs, carpenter’s planes, and baking troughs, but also some few finer instruments,—rain-gauges, thermometers, and telescopes; and in society, besides farmers, sailors, and weavers, there must be a few persons of purer fire kept specially as gauges and meters of character; persons of a fine, detecting instinct, who note the smallest accumulations of wit and feeling in the bystander.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The beginning of an acquaintance whether with persons or things is to get a definite outline of our ignorance.”
    —George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
