Famous quotes containing the words ten, verified, oldest, people and/or living:
“Nine out of ten matchmakers are liars.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Essential truth, the truth of the intellectualists, the truth with no one thinking it, is like the coat that fits tho no one has ever tried it on, like the music that no ear has listened to. It is less real, not more real, than the verified article; and to attribute a superior degree of glory to it seems little more than a piece of perverse abstraction-worship.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“This fond reiteration of the oldest expressions of truth by the latest posterity, content with slightly and religiously retouching the old material, is the most impressive proof of a common humanity.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There is the view that poetry should improve your life. I think people confuse it with the Salvation Army.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Our [adult] children have an adult’s right to make their own choices and have the responsibility of living with the consequences. If we make their problems ours, they avoid that responsibility, and we are faced with problems we can’t and shouldn’t solve.”
—Jane Adams (20th century)
