Famous quotes containing the word satisfy:
“Here was a little of everything in a small compass to satisfy the wants and the ambition of the woods,... but there seemed to me, as usual, a preponderance of children’s toys,—dogs to bark, and cats to mew, and trumpets to blow, where natives there hardly are yet. As if a child born into the Maine woods, among the pine cones and cedar berries, could not do without such a sugar-man or skipping-jack as the young Rothschild has.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is the object of learning, not only to satisfy the curiosity and perfect the spirits of ordinary men, but also to advance civilization.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“These beings have no other profession than to cultivate the idea of beauty in their person, to satisfy their passions, to feel and to think.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
