Faculties Require

Famous quotes containing the words faculties and/or require:

“The world is filled with the proverbs and acts and winkings of a base prudence, which is a devotion to matter, as if we possessed no other faculties than the palate, the nose, the touch, the eye and ear; a prudence which adores the Rule of Three, which never subscribes, which never gives, which seldom lends, and asks but one question of any project,—Will it bake bread?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“I say, beware of all enterprises that require new clothes, and not rather a new wearer of clothes.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
