Famous quotes containing the word discussions:

    When I read of the vain discussions of the present day about the Virgin Birth and other old dogmas which belong to the past, I feel how great the need is still of a real interest in the religion which builds up character, teaches brotherly love, and opens up to the seeker such a world of usefulness and the beauty of holiness.
    Olympia Brown (1835–1900)

    A philosopher who is not taking part in discussions is like a boxer who never goes into the ring.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
