Famous quotes containing the words arm and/or lead:
“Man is but a reed, the feeblest one in nature; but he is a thinking reed. The entire universe need not arm itself to crush him—a vapor, a drop of water suffices to kill him. But if the universe were to crush him, man would still be nobler than that which killed him, because he knows that he dies and the advantage which the universe has over him; the universe knows nothing of this.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“We fear our neighbor’s hostile mood because we are afraid that this mood will lead him to penetrate our secrets.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
