Famous quotes containing the words lead, time and/or reduction:
“The only ways of enquiry that lead to knowledge ... the one way assuming that being is and that it is impossible for it not to be, is the trustworthy path, for truth attends it. The Other, that non-being is and that it necessarily is, I call a wholly incredible course, since thou canst not recognize not-being ... nor couldst thou speak of it, for though and being are the same things.”
—Parmenides (c. 515–480 B.C.)
“With wonderful art he grinds into paint for his picture all his moods and experiences, so that all his forces may be brought to the encounter.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The reduction of nuclear arsenals and the removal of the threat of worldwide nuclear destruction is a measure, in my judgment, of the power and strength of a great nation.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
