Famous quotes containing the words true and/or flies:
“Consider the deference which is everywhere paid to a doctor’s opinion. Nothing more strikingly betrays the credulity of mankind than medicine. Quackery is a thing universal, and universally successful. In this case it becomes literally true that no imposition is too great for the credulity of men.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods,
They kill us for their sport.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
