Famous quotes containing the words called and/or world:
“All generous minds have a horror of what are commonly called facts. They are the brute beasts of the intellectual domain. Who does not know fellows that always have an ill-conditioned fact or two that they lead after them into decent company like so many bull-dogs, ready to let them slip at every ingenious suggestion, or convenient generalization, or pleasant fancy? I allow no facts at this table.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (18091894)
“...the world did not know God through wisdom...”
—Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 1:21.
