Famous quotes containing the words fort, smith and/or public:
“No, no. God will not damn a lunatic’s soul. He knows that the powers of evil are too great for those of us with weak minds.”

“Those who talk on the razor-edge of double-meanings pluck the rarest blooms from the precipice on either side.”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
“Public opinion contains all kinds of falsity and truth, but it takes a great man to find the truth in it. The great man of the age is the one who can put into words the will of his age, tell his age what its will is, and accomplish it. What he does is the heart and the essence of his age, he actualizes his age. The man who lacks sense enough to despise public opinion expressed in gossip will never do anything great.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
