Famous quotes containing the word person:
“A person unlearns arrogance when he knows he is always among worthy human beings; being alone fosters presumption. Young people are arrogant because they always associate with their own peers, those who are all really nothing but who would like to be very important.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
