thinking animal intelligence
If human beings are immortal, so are animals. If matter has the ability to remember, it also has the ability to think.
character thinking dare
It's the misfortune of German authors that not a single one of them dares to expose his true character. Everyone thinks that he has to be better than he is.
hate thinking literature
Do you think that it is possible to have a mere taste of commonness? Either one hates it or makes common cause with it.
men thinking feelings
Feeling and thinking are actually the blind man who carries the lame.
thinking feelings plot
The plot! The plot! What kind of plot could a poet possibly provide that is not surpassed by the thinking, feeling reader? Form alone is divine.
thinking honor thieves
Trousers and the reputation of not being a thief are similar in the following way: There is no particular honor in having them butonce they are lost, everyone thinks they have the right to insult us.
thinking gold may
Mozart starved, but you allow Thalberg and Liszt make tons of gold: Of course, you may think that someone immortal cannot die of hunger
thinking sky tree
If someone were to think that trees are made to support the sky, they would all seem too short.
country intelligent thinking
In certain countries, people seem to be think that three asses together make one intelligent person. However, that is completely wrong. Several asses in concreto make the ass in abstracto and that is a most terrifying animal.
claimed difference mistake mistakes three
Every mistake has three stages: first, it is made, second, it is not admitted, and third, its claimed it didnt make any difference anyway.
converts half oh wisdom
Oh that wisdom was half as zealous for converts as ridicule.
speed slow-down bits
Do not push so fast ahead, do slow down a bit! Otherwise you won't catch up with yourselves.
grieving austria may
They are miserly, the princes of Austria, you need not grieve about it; they may not donate anything, but they allow themselves tobe fleeced, the good lords.
world fossils bones
In early times, before the floods swept across the world, there was life, albeit odd, as one can see from the fossils of mammoth bones, and there was the regime of Prince Metternich.
