looks at it.\n\n\nBut I'm finding that there are confilcts over who said it originally.  I have found both Emerson and Thoreau as being quoted.

Pretty much the quote states that even the more powerful people in the world make mistakes and aren't always correct in their ways of solving problems.  And that a truly good person would be able to see that they're way isn't the right way and will allow other solutions to the problem, as long as the problem gets resolved peacefully.  And that the worst thing a person can do is be too proud to take someone else's advice.  In Antigone, her father I believe (it's been a while since I read this) is so set in his ways and believing he's right, that he won't see things from Antigone's point of view.  Due to his pride, it results in his daughter's death (I'm pretty sure she dies in this), which is not an affective solution to the problem.  I'm sorry I can't remember quotes and things of that sort.  But I hope I put you on the right track!  Good luck!

Against the Wind\n\nBTW: He was advised not to include these lyrics as he had written them. His advisors (producer I suppose) wanted something more conventional like "wish I had known then what I know now."

I found a quotable search engine on the net. I don't know if it has the quote you are looking for; but at least I may be able to point you in the right direction.\n\nhttp://www.quotableonline.com/\n\nI think that quote was in the movie Fahrenheit 451. Toward the end of the movie; there are a collection  of people who memorise books; and I think that quote is where an old man about to die is teaching his book to a young child about 5 or 6 years old.\n\nI don't think the movie tells which book the old man is teaching the child though.

The quote is that "The unexamined life is not worth living". What he meant was that we should all question our lives and things in it. If you do not question things, you just go along with everybody else..nothing advances. If you do not question things..there would be no advances in science or anything else......if someone didn't ask how you could improve  writing your report, and figure it all out, we'd still be writing on caves. If you stop asking how, or why etc. you remain the same..nothing changes or gets better...

Quotation\n***********\n"Look how we live, an’ wheer we live, an’ in what numbers, an’ by what chances, an’ wi’ what sameness; and look how the mills is awlus a-goin’, and how they never works us no nigher to onny distant object-‘ceptin awlus Death. Look how you considers of us, and writes of us, and talks of us, and goes up wi’ your deputations to Secretaries o’ State ‘bout us, and how yo are awlus right, and how we are awlus wrong, and never had’n no reason in us sin ever we were born. Look how this ha’ growen an’ growen sir, bigger an’ bigger, broader an’ broader, harder an’ harder, fro year to year, fro generation unto generation. Who can look on’t sir, and fairly tell a man ‘tis not a muddle?"\n********************************************************\nExplanation of quotation\n**************************\n\nStephen Blackpool’s speech to Bounderby, from Book the Second, Chapter 5, is one of the few glimpses that we receive into the lives of the Hands. His long sentences and repetition of words such as “an’” and “Look” mimic the monotony of the workers’ lives. Similarly, Stephen’s dialect illustrates his lack of education and contrasts with the proper English spoken by the middle-class characters and by the narrator. In spite of his lack of formal education, however, Stephen possesses greater insight about the relationship between employer and employee than does Bounderby. Stephen notes that “yo” (the factory owners and employers) and “us” (the Hands) are constantly opposed, but that the Hands stand no chance in the contest because the employers possess all the wealth and power. However, he does not blame the employers solely for the suffering of the poor, concluding instead that the situation is a “muddle” and that it is difficult to determine who is responsible for society’s ills. Stephen also suggests that the monotony of factory labor seems futile to the Hands, who need to strive for some larger goal in order to make the endless round of production seem worthwhile. The “distant object” or larger goal that he mentions here is later symbolized by the bright star on which he gazes while trapped at the bottom of the mine shaft.\n\n*********\n hey,pal you can find all details on  http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/hardtimes/

From Shakespeare:\n\nA thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues.\n\nBeggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks, but I thank you; and sure, dear friends, my thanks are too dear a halfpenny.

The classic petrarchan sonnet by John Miltion:\n\nOn His Being Arrived to the Age of Twenty-three\n\nHow soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth, \nStolen on his wing my three and twentieth year! \nMy hasting days fly on with full career, \nBut my late spring no bud or blossom shew'th. \nPerhaps my semblance might deceive the truth, \nThat I to manhood am arrived so near, \nAnd inward ripeness doth much less appear, \nThat some more timely-happy spirits indu'th. \nYet be it less or more, or soon or slow, \nIt shall be still in strictest measure even \nTo that same lot, however mean or high, \nToward which Time leads me, and the will of Heaven. \nAll is, if I have grace to use it so, \nAs ever in my great Task-master's eye.
