Politics matters. Ideas matter. Democracy matters.

 
Jack Layton
 

We will have no generalizations. Mr. Bernard Shaw has put the view in a perfect epigram: "The golden rule is that there is no golden rule." We are more and more to discuss details in art, politics, literature. A man's opinion on tramcars matters; his opinion on Botticelli matters; his opinion on all things does not matter. He may turn over and explore a million objects, but he must not find that strange object, the universe; for if he does he will have a religion, and be lost. Everything matters — except everything.

 
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
 

Men must always have distinguished (e.g. in judicial matters) between hearsay and seeing with one’s own eyes and have preferred what one has seen to what he has merely heard from others. But the use of this distinction was originally limited to particular or subordinate matters. As regards the most weighty matters—the first things and the right way—the only source of knowledge was hearsay.

 
Leo Strauss
 

Teaching is successful only as it causes people to think for themselves. What the teacher thinks matters little; what he makes the child think matters much.

 
Alice Moore Hubbard
 

Reserve the great matters till the end, and the small matters give at the beginning.

 
Leonardo da Vinci
