Famous quotes containing the words court and/or flowers:
“World history is a court of judgment.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“Bees plunder the flowers here and there, but afterward they make of them honey, which is all theirs; it is no longer thyme or marjoram. Even so with the pieces borrowed from others; one will transform and blend them to make a work that is all one’s own, that is, one’s judgement. Education, work, and study aim only at forming this.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
