Famous quotes containing the words young and/or harris:

    You have both said well,
    And on the cause and question now in hand
    Have glozed, but superficially—not much
    Unlike young men whom Aristotle thought
    Unfit to hear moral philosophy.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    A cynic is not merely one who reads bitter lessons from the past; he is one who is prematurely disappointed in the future.
    —Sydney J. Harris (b. 1917)
