Famous quotes containing the words hit and/or man:
“With deep men, as with deep wells, it takes a long time for anything that falls into them to hit bottom. Onlookers, who almost never wait long enough, readily suppose that such men are callous and unresponsiveor even boring.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
“When a man of sense happens to be in that disagreeable situation in which he is obliged to ask himself more than once, What shall I do? he will answer himself, Nothing. When his reason points out to him no good way, he will stop short, and wait for light. A little busy mind runs on at all events, must be doing; and, like a blind horse, fears no dangers, because he sees none. Il faut scavoir sennuïer.*”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (16941773)
