new quote search - who said it?
|
So many people seemed to participate in the quote games - couldn �t resist putting this one in:
Who said the following three quotes:
Art is never finished, only abandoned.
Anyone who conducts an argument by appealing to authority is not using his intelligence; he is just using his memory.
All our knowledge has its origins in our perceptions.

Hi Vickii:
I know Da Vinci quoted the first one, and I guess he must have quoted the second and third one if the same person quoted the three. |

Hi Vickii I am afraid that I cannot answer your question, but I have thought that it could be a graet idea to exchange quotes on the forum. You see in my country Latvia they are used for oral exams for students. A student is given a quote and he or she has to express his or her opinion. Here is another one: Education is what remains when we have forgotten all we have been taught.

nice one giovanni - absolutely correct! - and I think that alakoalla is referring to GEorge Saville.
How about this one:
"An eye for an eye will make the whole world go blind."
