Human Ingenuity

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or ingenuity:

    Priest: Can’t you conceive of a truth too great for the human mind to analyze?
    Dr. Henryk Savaard: Tonight, no. But tomorrow, I may know better.
    Karl Brown (1897–1990)

    In the most worn, pedantic, introverted self-tormenter’s life, the greatest part is incalculable by him, unforeseen, unimaginable, and must be, until he can take himself up by his own ears. What am I? What has my will done to make me that I am? Nothing. I have been floated into this thought, this hour, this connection of events, by secret currents of might and mind, and my ingenuity and wilfulness have not thwarted, have not aided to an appreciable degree.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
