Quotes by John of Salisbury  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“We are like dwarfs sitting on the shoulders of giants. We see more, and things that are more distant, than they did, not because our sight is superior or because we are taller than they, but because they raise us up, and by their great stature add to ours.”
John of Salisbury, Metalogicon of John Salisbury

“Just as the soul animates the body, so, in a way, meaning breathes life into a word.”
John of Salisbury, The Metalogicon of John of Salsibury: A Twelfth-Century Defense of the Verbal and Logical Arts of the Trivium

“The only sure road to truth is humility.”
John of Salisbury
