Sufficient Evidence

Famous quotes containing the words sufficient and/or evidence:

    Pleasure is the rock which most young people split upon; they launch out with crowded sails in quest of it, but without a compass to direct their course, or reason sufficient to steer the vessel; for want of which, pain and shame, instead of pleasure, are the returns of their voyage.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    We perceive that the schemers return again and again to common sense and labor. Such is the evidence of history.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
