Famous quotes containing the words plans and/or offered:
“Consider any individual at any period of his life, and you will always find him preoccupied with fresh plans to increase his comfort.

—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
“The great danger of conversion in all ages has been that when the religion of the high mind is offered to the lower mind, the lower mind, feeling its fascination without understanding it, and being incapable of rising to it, drags it down to its level by degrading it.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
