Famous quotes containing the word study:
“The great wars of the present age are the effects of the study of history.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“I have not made a study of it, but believe that it is a minor point in the history of the war.”
—Jean-Marie Le Pen (b. 1928)
“The life of a good man will hardly improve us more than the life of a freebooter, for the inevitable laws appear as plainly in the infringement as in the observance, and our lives are sustained by a nearly equal expense of virtue of some kind. The decaying tree, while yet it lives, demands sun, wind, and rain no less than the green one. It secretes sap and performs the functions of health. If we choose, we may study the alburnum only. The gnarled stump has as tender a bud as the sapling.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
