Famous quotes containing the words wilhelm, leibniz, prize and/or winners:

    “Possession, it is true, crowns exertion with rest; but it is only in the illusions of fancy that it has power to charm us.”
    —Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)

    “Navarette, a Chinese missionary, agrees with Leibniz and says that “It is the special providence of God that the Chinese did not know what was done in Christendom; for if they did, there would be never a man among them, but would spit in our faces.””
    —Matthew Tindal (1653–1733)

    “I prize the purity of his character as highly as I do that of hers. As a moral being, whatever it is morally wrong for her to do, it is morally wrong for him to do. The fallacious doctrine of male and female virtues has well nigh ruined all that is morally great and lovely in his character: he has been quite as deep a sufferer by it as woman, though mostly in different respects and by other processes.”
    —Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)

    “The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
    —Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
