Famous quotes containing the word effect:
“Nothing could his enemies do but it rebounded to his infinite advantage,—that is, to the advantage of his cause....

Who placed the slave-woman and her child, whom he stooped to kiss for a symbol, between his prison and the gallows?”

“The machine has had a pernicious effect upon virtue, pity, and love, and young men used to machines which induce inertia, and fear, are near impotents.”
—Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
“Human knowledge and human power meet in one; for where the cause is not known the effect cannot be produced. Nature to be commanded must be obeyed; and that which in contemplation is as the cause is in operation as the rule.”
