Greater

Famous quotes containing the word greater:

    However great a man’s fear of life, suicide remains the courageous act, the clear- headed act of a mathematician. The suicide has judged by the laws of chance—so many odds against one that to live will be more miserable than to die. His sense of mathematics is greater than his sense of survival.
    Graham Greene (1904–1991)

    It is almost everywhere the case that soon after it is begotten the greater part of human wisdom is laid to rest in repositories.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    But wonder at a greater wonder, for to us
    Created nature doth these things subdue,
    But their Creator, whom sin nor nature tied,
    For us, his Creatures and his foes, hath died.
    John Donne (1572–1631)
