Famous quotes containing the word improve:
“It seems to me that your doctor [Tronchin] is more of a philosopher than a physician. As for me, I much prefer a doctor who is an optimist and who gives me remedies that will improve my health. Philosophical consolations are, after all, useless against real ailments. I know only two kinds of sicknessphysical and moral: all the others are purely in the imagination.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (16941773)
“If you have great talents, industry will improve them: if you have but moderate abilities, industry will supply their deficiency.”
—Sir Joshua Reynolds (17231792)
“Make em cry. Make em laugh. Make em mad, even mad at you. Stir them up and theyll love it and come back for more. But for heavens sake, dont try to improve their minds.”
—Robert Rossen (19081966)
