Famous quotes containing the words live, birth and/or rate:
“To say that a man is your Friend, means commonly no more than this, that he is not your enemy. Most contemplate only what would be the accidental and trifling advantages of Friendship, as that the Friend can assist in time of need by his substance, or his influence, or his counsel.... Even the utmost goodwill and harmony and practical kindness are not sufficient for Friendship, for Friends do not live in harmony merely, as some say, but in melody.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Mans main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is. The most important product of his effort is his own personality.”
—Erich Fromm (19001980)
“At the rate science proceeds, rockets and missiles will one day seem like buffaloslow, endangered grazers in the black pasture of outer space.”
—Bernard Cooper (b. 1936)
