Famous quotes containing the word fixed:

    “...a fixed aim furnishes us with a fixed measure, by which we can decide whether such or such an action proposed is worth trying for or not, and as aims must vary with the individual, the decisions of any two people as to the desirableness of an action may not be the same.”
    —Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
