More quotes by George Iles
To render aid to the worthless is sheer waste. Rain does not freshen the Dead Sea, but only enables it to dissolve more salt.
George Iles
Error held as truth has much the effect of truth. In politics and religion this fact upsets many confident predictions.
George Iles
Nothing cools so fast as undue enthusiasm. Water that has boiled freezes sooner than any other.
George Iles
Truth is better disengaged from error than torn from it.
George Iles
Form may be of more account than substance. A lens of ice will focus a solar beam to a blaze.
George Iles
We despair of changing the habits of men, still we would alter institutions, the habits of millions of men.
George Iles
They will listen with both ears to what is said by the men just a step or two ahead of them, who stand nearest to them, and within arm's reach. A guide ceases to be of any use when he strides so far ahead as to be hidden by the curvature of the earth.
George Iles
Nature is full of by-ends. A moth feeds on a petal, in a moment the pollen caught on its breast will be wedding this blossom to another in the next county.
George Iles
Is any knowledge worthless? Try to think of an example.
George Iles
Doubt is the beginning, not the end, of wisdom.
