Improve/improved

Famous quotes containing the words improve and/or improved:

    So much of our lives is given over to the consideration of our imperfections that there is no time to improve our imaginary virtues. The truth is we only perfect our vices, and man is a worse creature when he dies than he was when he was born.
    Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)

    While civilization has been improving our houses, it has not equally improved the men who are to inhabit them. It has created palaces, but it was not so easy to create noblemen and kings.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
