Famous quotes containing the words place and/or names:

    Nothing strengthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility. Nothing adds such dignity to character as the recognition of one’s self-sovereignty; the right to an equal place, everywhere conceded—a place earned by personal merit, not an artificial attainment by inheritance, wealth, family and position.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    All the names of good and evil are parables: they do not declare, but only hint. Whoever among you seeks knowledge of them is a fool!
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
