Famous quotes containing the words current, vehicles and/or display:

    “I don’t see America as a mainland, but as a sea, a big ocean. Sometimes a storm arises, a formidable current develops, and it seems it will engulf everything. Wait a moment, another current will appear and bring the first one to naught.”
    —Jacques Maritain (1882–1973)

    “Only by the supernatural is a man strong; nothing is so weak as an egotist. Nothing is mightier than we, when we are vehicles of a truth before which the state and the individual are alike ephemeral.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Nobody thanks a witty man for politeness when he accommodates himself to a society in which it is not polite to display wit.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
