Famous quotes containing the words world and/or men:

    Presidents quickly realize that while a single act might destroy the world they live in, no one single decision can make life suddenly better or can turn history around for the good.
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    To speak impartially, the best men that I know are not serene, a world in themselves. For the most part, they dwell in forms, and flatter and study effect only more finely than the rest.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
