Famous quotes containing the words independent and/or counsels:
“The real, then, is that which, sooner or later, information and reasoning would finally result in, and which is therefore independent of the vagaries of me and you. Thus, the very origin of the conception of reality shows that this conception essentially involves the notion of a COMMUNITY, without definite limits, and capable of a definite increase of knowledge.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
“Proverbial wisdom counsels against risk and change. But sitting ducks fare worst of all.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
