"One must judge men not by their opinions, but by what their opinions have made of them." ― Georg C. Lichtenberg Topic(s): Men More From Georg C. Lichtenberg "Nothing can contribute more to peace of soul than the lack of any opinion whatever." "Perhaps in time the so-called Dark Ages will be thought of as including our own." "The noble simplicity in the works of nature only too often originates in the noble shortsightedness of him who observes it." More In Men "I have known a vast quantity of nonsense talked about bad men not looking you in the face. Don’t trust that conventional idea. Dishonesty will stare honesty out of countenance any day in the week, if there is anything to be got by it."― Charles Dickens "As you watch the world crumble, try taking your Armageddon with this sprinkling of irony: Over the last three decades, business has got virtually everything it wanted, and its doomsday scenario from the 1970s has come true because of it."― Thomas Frank "Our duty, as men and women, is to proceed as if limits to our ability did not exist. We are collaborators in creation."― Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
