Apparent Position

Famous quotes containing the words apparent and/or position:

“The compensations of calamity are made apparent to the understanding also, after long intervals of time. A fever, a mutilation, a cruel disappointment, a loss of wealth, a loss of friends, seems at the moment unpaid loss, and unpayable. But the sure years reveal the deep remedial force that underlies all facts.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“To be free in an age like ours, one must be in a position of authority. That in itself would be enough to make me ambitious.”
—Ernest Renan (1823–1892)
