Famous quotes containing the words world and/or records:
“A proper autobiography is a death-bed confession. A true man finds so much work to do that he has no time to contemplate his yesterdays; for to-day and to-morrow are here, with their impatient tasks. The world is so busy, too, that it cannot afford to study any mans unfinished work; for the end may prove it a failure, and the world needs masterpieces.”
—Mary Antin (18811949)
“Better the rudest work that tells a story or records a fact, than the richest without meaning.”
—John Ruskin (18191900)
