Famous quotes containing the word thinkers:
“The success of great scholars and thinkers is commonly a courtier-like success, not kingly, not manly. They make shift to live merely by conformity, practically as their fathers did, and are in no sense the progenitors of a nobler race of men.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Readers are plentiful: thinkers are rare.”
—Harriet Martineau (1802–1876)
“Those thinkers who cannot believe in any gods often assert that the love of humanity would be in itself sufficient for them; and so, perhaps, it would, if they had it.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
