William Hazlitt

The most durable monument of human labor is that which recalls the wretchedness and nothingness of man.

Alexis de Tocqueville

The Crusades - the most signal and most durable monument of human folly that has yet appeared in any age or nation.

David Hume

Of everything that man erects and builds in his urge for living nothing is in my eyes better and more valuable than bridges. They are more important than houses, more sacred than shrines.

Jason Aaron

These papers of the day have uses more adequate to the purposes of common life than more pompous and durable volumes.

Samuel Johnson

Whatever beauty we behold, the more it is distant, serene, and cold, the purer and more durable it is. It is better to warm ourselves with ice than with fire.

Henry David Thoreau

An idea is a greater monument than a cathedral. And the advance of man's knowledge is more of a miracle than any sticks turned to snakes, or the parting of waters!
