Famous quotes containing the word things:

    “Man is the measure of all things, of things that are that they are, and of things that are not that they are not.”
    —Protagoras (c. 481–411 B.C.)

    “My children have taught me things. Things I thought I knew. The most profound wisdom they have given me is a respect for human vulnerability. I have known that people are resilient, but I didn’t appreciate how fragile they are. Until children learn to hide their feelings, you read them in their faces, gestures, and postures. The sheer visibility of shyness, pain, and rejection let me recognize and remember them.”
    —Shirley Nelson Garner (20th century)

    “Switzerland is a country where very few things begin, but many things end.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
