Highest

Famous quotes containing the word highest:

“In place of a world, there is a city, a point, in which the whole life of broad regions is collecting while the rest dries up. In place of a type-true people, born of and grown on the soil, there is a new sort of nomad, cohering unstably in fluid masses, the parasitical city dweller, traditionless, utterly matter-of-fact, religionless, clever, unfruitful, deeply contemptuous of the countryman and especially that highest form of countryman, the country gentleman.”
—Oswald Spengler (1880–1936)

“Man is God’s highest present development. He is the latest thing in God.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

“Envy like fire always makes for the highest points.”
—Titus Livius (Livy)
