Understand

Famous quotes containing the word understand:

“You should try to understand every thing you see and hear; to act and judge for yourselves; to remember you each have a soul of your own to account for; M a mind of your own to improve. When you once get these ideas fixed, and learn to act upon them, no man or set of men, no laws, customs, or combinations of them can seriously oppress you.”
—Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)

“To understand someone, find out how he spends his money.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego; the self is more distant than any star.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
