Famous quotes containing the words structure and/or appearance:

    I’m a Sunday School teacher, and I’ve always known that the structure of law is founded on the Christian ethic that you shall love the Lord your God and your neighbor as yourself—a very high and perfect standard. We all know the fallibility of man, and the contentions in society, as described by Reinhold Niebuhr and many others, don’t permit us to achieve perfection.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    The fear of death is indeed the pretence of wisdom, and not real wisdom, being the appearance of knowing the unknown.
    Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
