Children have neither a past nor a future. Thus they enjoy the present, which seldom happens to us.
Jean de la Bruyere

The true meaning of religion is thus, not simply morality, but morality touched by emotion.
Matthew Arnold

Art has two constant, two unending concerns: It always meditates on death and thus always creates life. All great, genuine art resembles and continues the Revelation of St John.

Lucretius

Quantum physics thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe.
Erwin Schrodinger

By education most have been misled; So they believe, because they were bred. The priest continues where the nurse began, And thus the child imposes on the man.
John Dryden

Max Bill

When lying, be emphatic and indignant, thus behaving like your children.
William Feather

Thus, the technique of metropolitan life is unimaginable without the most punctual integration of all activities and mutual relations into a stable and impersonal time schedule.
Georg Simmel

Secrecy is thus, so to speak, a transition stadium between being and not-being.
Georg Simmel

The consequences of things are not always proportionate to the apparent magnitude of those events that have produced them. Thus the American Revolution, from which little was expected, produced much; but the French Revolution, from which much was expected, produced little.
Charles Caleb Colton

Thus there is no doubt the eye was intended for us to see with.
Joseph Butler

A definition of poetry can only determine what poetry should be and not what poetry actually was and is; otherwise the most concise formula would be: Poetry is that which at some time and some place was thus named.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Wit is the appearance, the external flash of imagination. Thus its divinity, and the witty character of mysticism.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
