Necessarily

Famous quotes containing the word necessarily:

    “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.)

    “The fact is that a man who wants to act virtuously in every way necessarily comes to grief among so many who are not virtuous.”
    —Niccolò Machiavelli (1469–1527)

    “To make a man perfectly happy tell him he works too hard, that he spends too much money, that he is “misunderstood” or that he is “different”; none of this is necessarily complimentary, but it will flatter him infinitely more that merely telling him that he is brilliant, or noble, or wise, or good.”
    —Helen Rowland (1875–1950)
