"Ignorant men raise questions that wise men answered a thousand years ago." ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Topic(s): Men More From Johann Wolfgang von Goethe "Happiness is a ball after which we run wherever it rolls, and we push it with our feet when it stops." "The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone." "To the person with a firm purpose all men and things are servants." More In Men "The great fear that hung over the business community in the 1970s was death by regulation, and the great goal of the conservative movement, as it rose to triumph in the 1980s, was to remove that threat – to keep OSHA, the EPA, and the FTC from choking off entrepreneurship with their infernal meddling in the marketplace."― Thomas Frank "Dawn: When men of reason go to bed."― Ambrose Bierce "While civilization has been improving our houses, it has not equally improved the men who are to inhabit them. It has created palaces, but it was not so easy to create noblemen and kings."― Henry David Thoreau
