For there is no defense for a man who, in the excess of his wealth, has kicked the great altar of Justice out of sight Picture Quote #1

When a nation goes down, or a society perishes, one condition may always be found; they forgot where they came from. They lost sight of what had brought them along Picture Quote #1

I believe that access to a university education should be based on the ability to learn, not what people can afford. I think there is no more nauseating a sight than politicians pulling up the ladder of opportunity behind them Picture Quote #1

Let us spell out the Magna Charta of which we humbly catch sight. Let us say to the people of whom all peoples are made: Wake up and understand, look and see; and having begun again the consciousness which was mown down by slavery, decide that everything must be begun again! Picture Quote #1

I sent the World Well Lost to one editor who rejected it on sight, and then wrote a letter to every other editor in the field warning them against the story, and urging them to reject it on sight without reading it Picture Quote #1

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth Picture Quote #1

Those things that nature denied to human sight, she revealed to the eyes of the soul Picture Quote #1

Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore Picture Quote #1

For many ages it has been allowed by sensible men, nihil est in intellectu quod non fuit prius in sensu: That is, there is nothing in the understanding which was not first perceived by some of the senses. All the knowledge which we naturally have is originally derived from our senses. And therefore those who want any sense cannot have the least knowledge or idea of the objects of that sense; as they that never had sight have not the least knowledge or conception of light or colours Picture Quote #1

I mind as if it were yesterday my first sight of the man. Little I knew at the time how big the moment was with destiny, or how often that face seen in the fitful moonlight would haunt my sleep and disturb my waking hours Picture Quote #1

Last night I had looked into the heart of darkness, and the sight had terrified me. What part should I play in the great purification? Most likely that of the biblical scapegoat Picture Quote #1

Supposing you knew - not by sight or by instinct, but by sheer intellectual knowledge, as I know the truth of a mathematical proposition - that what we call empty space was full, crammed. Not with lumps of what we call matter like hills and houses, but with things as real - as real to the mind Picture Quote #1

Tis a short sight to limit our faith in laws to those of gravity, of chemistry, of botany, and so forth Picture Quote #1

He's not out seeing a sight but the rock crystal thing to see - the startling El Greco brimming with inner light - that covets nothing that it has let go. This then you may know as the hero Picture Quote #1

A day spent without the sight or sound of beauty, the contemplation of mystery, or the search of truth or perfection is a poverty-stricken day; and a succession of such days is fatal to human life Picture Quote #1

Is this a dagger which I see before me, the handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible to feeling as to sight? Or art thou but a dagger of the mind, a false creation, proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain? Picture Quote #1

If I depart from thee, I cannot live; and in thy sight to die, what were it else But like a pleasant slumber in thy lap? To die by thee were but to die in jest; from thee to die were torture more than death Picture Quote #1

The process of tracing regularity in any complicated, and at first sight confused, set of appearances, is necessarily tentative; we begin by making any supposition, even a false one, to see what consequences will follow from it ; and by observing how these differ from the real phenomena, we learn what corrections to make in our assumption Picture Quote #1

As far as could ken thy chalky cliffs, when from thy shore the tempest beat us back, I stood upon the hatches in the storm, and when the dusky sky began to rob My earnest gaping sight of thy land's view, I took a costly jewel from my neck, a heart it was, bound in with diamonds, and threw it toward thy land Picture Quote #1

Life is an art we are required to practice without preparation, a score that we play at sight even before we have mastered our instruments Picture Quote #1

Love at first sight is easy to understand; it's when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle Picture Quote #1

Eyes of youth have sharp sight but commonly not so deep as those of elder age Picture Quote #1

Memory is the power to revive again in our minds those ideas which after imprinting have disappeared, or have been laid aside out of sight Picture Quote #1

The beauty of you delights me. The sight of you amazes me. For the pearl does this... And the ocean does that Picture Quote #1

I am a tax attorney. I have to warn you, this is not a pretty sight. You have a tax attorney who's also a politician. So if there's anyone who needs sanctification, it is me Picture Quote #1
