Logic Convention

Famous quotes containing the words logic and/or convention:

“We want in every man a long logic; we cannot pardon the absence of it, but it must not be spoken. Logic is the procession or proportionate unfolding of the intuition; but its virtue is as silent method; the moment it would appear as propositions and have a separate value, it is worthless.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Mankind owes to the child the best it has to give.”
—United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, 1989.
