Famous quotes containing the word sights:

    “You shall see men you never heard of before, whose names you don’t know,... and many other wild and noble sights before night, such as they who sit in parlors never dream of.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “We may have civilized bodies and yet barbarous souls. We are blind to the real sights of this world; deaf to its voice; and dead to its death. And not till we know, that one grief outweighs ten thousand joys will we become what Christianity is striving to make us.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “We can’t always have the beautiful aspect of things. Let us make the most of our sights that are beautiful and let the others go”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
