Famous quotes containing the words respect and/or renewal:
“Honest people will respect us for our merit: the public, for our luck.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“Every epoch which seeks renewal first projects its ideal into a human form. In order to comprehend its own essence tangibly, the spirit of the time chooses a human being as its prototype and raising this single individual, often one upon whom it has chanced to come, far beyond his measure, the spirit enthuses itself for its own enthusiasm.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
