Famous quotes containing the words important and/or poets:

    “Having intelligence is not as important as knowing when to use it, just as having a hoe is not as important as knowing when to plant.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “Murder in the murderer is no such ruinous thought as poets and romancers will have it; it does not unsettle him, or fright him from his ordinary notice of trifles: it is an act quite easy to be contemplated, but in its sequel, it turns out to be a horrible jangle and confounding of all relations.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
