Famous quotes containing the word conscious:
“There is no assurance of the great fact in question [namely, immortality]. All the arguments are mere probabilities, analogies, fancies, whims. We believe, or disbelieve, or are in doubt according to our own make-up—to accidents, to education, to environment. For myself, I do not reach either faith or belief ... that I—the conscious person talking to you—will meet you in the world beyond—you being yourself a conscious person—the same person now reading what I say.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“It is our less conscious thoughts and our less conscious actions which mainly mould our lives and the lives of those who spring from us.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“A man who has not been in Italy, is always conscious of an inferiority.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
