Famous quotes containing the words year and/or wonders:

    “Never read any book that is not a year old.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “For it is owing to their wonder that men both now begin and at first began to philosophize.... And a man who is puzzled and wonders thinks himself ignorant ...; therefore since they philosophized in order to escape from ignorance, evidently they were pursuing science in order to know, and not for any utilitarian end.”
    —Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
