Human Wishes

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or wishes:

“I should say tact was worth much more than wealth as a road to leadership.... I mean that subtle apprehension which teaches a person how to do and say the right thing at the right time. It coexists with very ordinary qualities, and yet many great geniuses are without it. Of all human qualities I consider it the most convenient—not always the highest; yet I would rather have it than many more shining qualities.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

“No matter how happily a woman may be married, it always pleases her to discover that there is a nice man who wishes that she were not.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
