Famous quotes containing the word problems:

—Kristin Hunter (b. 1931)
“To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust. It is to solve some of the problems of life, not only theoretically, but practically.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The problems of victory are more agreeable than the problems of defeat, but they are no less difficult.”
