Difference

Famous quotes containing the word difference:

“When I think of God, when I think of him as existent, and when I believe him to be existent, my idea of him neither increases nor diminishes. But as it is certain there is a great difference betwixt the simple conception of the existence of an object, and the belief of it, and as this difference lies not in the parts or composition of the idea which we conceive; it follows, that it must lie in the manner in which we conceive it.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)

“The difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how she’s treated.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

“No burst of nuclear phenomenon
That put an end to what was going on
Could make much difference to the dead and gone.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
