Famous quotes containing the words operation, badger and/or catch:
“An absolute can only be given in an intuition, while all the rest has to do with analysis. We call intuition here the sympathy by which one is transported into the interior of an object in order to coincide with what there is unique and consequently inexpressible in it. Analysis, on the contrary, is the operation which reduces the object to elements already known.”
—Henri Bergson (18591941)
“When you are about to badger the weak,
Then imagine yourself before a more powerful man.”
—Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)
“Most people have ears, but few have judgment; tickle those ears, and depend upon it you will catch their judgments, such as they are.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (16941773)
