Famous quotes containing the words specific, brain and/or state:
“Patriotism is proud of a country’s virtues and eager to correct its deficiencies; it also acknowledges the legitimate patriotism of other countries, with their own specific virtues. The pride of nationalism, however, trumpets its country’s virtues and denies its deficiencies, while it is contemptuous toward the virtues of other countries. It wants to be, and proclaims itself to be, “the greatest,” but greatness is not required of a country; only goodness is.”
—Sydney J. Harris (1917–1986)
“When our brain feels too weak to deal with our opponent’s objections, our heart answers by casting suspicion on their underlying motives.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“A Church which has lost its memory is in a sad state of senility.”
—Henry Chadwick (b. 1920)
