More quotes by Joseph Wood Krutch

Joseph Wood Krutch
When a man wantonly destroys one of the works of man we call him a vandal. When he destroys one of the works of god we call him a sportsman.
Joseph Wood Krutch
To be reminded that one is very much like other members of the animal kingdom is often funny...though...I do not too much mind being somewhat like a cat.
Joseph Wood Krutch
It is sometimes easier to head an institute for the study of child guidance than it is to turn one brat into a decent human being.
Joseph Wood Krutch
Man is the only one in whom the instinct of life falters long enough to enable it to ask the question Why?
Joseph Wood Krutch
August creates as she slumbers, replete and satisfied.
Joseph Wood Krutch
Nature takes no account of even the most reasonable of human excuses.
Joseph Wood Krutch
When, in the present world, men behave well, that is no doubt sometimes because they are creatures of habit as well as, sometimes, because they are reasonable.
Joseph Wood Krutch
There is no conceivable human action which custom has not at one time justified and at another condemned.
Joseph Wood Krutch
It is not ignorance but knowledge which is the mother of wonder.
Joseph Wood Krutch
