Famous quotes containing the words world and/or interest:

“Whatever practical people may say, this world is, after all, absolutely governed by ideas, and very often by the wildest and most hypothetical ideas.

—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

“I should consider it a greater success to interest one wise and earnest soul, than a million unwise and frivolous.”
