Famous quotes containing the word possession:

    “Whoever is not in the possession of leisure can hardly be said to possess independence. They talk of the dignity of work. Bosh. True work is the necessity of poor humanity’s earthly condition. The dignity is in leisure. Besides, 99 hundredths of all the work done in the world is either foolish and unnecessary, or harmful and wicked.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “It is one thing to show a man that he is in an error, and another to put him in possession of the truth.”
    —John Locke (1632–1704)

    “When we believe ourselves in possession of the only truth, we are likely to be indifferent to common everyday truths.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
