Famous quotes containing the words men and/or experience:

“A scholar is a candle which the love and desire of all men will light.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“What is termed Sin is an essential element of progress. Without it the world would stagnate, or grow old, or become colourless. By its curiosity Sin increases the experience of the race. Through its intensified assertion of individualism it saves us from monotony of type. In its rejection of the current notions about morality, it is one with the higher ethics.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
