Famous quotes containing the words connecting and/or term:
“Mine was, as it were, the connecting link between wild and cultivated fields; as some states are civilized, and others half-civilized, and others savage or barbarous, so my field was, though not in a bad sense, a half-cultivated field. They were beans cheerfully returning to their wild and primitive state that I cultivated, and my hoe played the Ranz des Vaches for them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“A radical is one of whom people say He goes too far. A conservative, on the other hand, is one who doesnt go far enough. Then there is the reactionary, one who doesnt go at all. All these terms are more or less objectionable, wherefore we have coined the term progressive. I should say that a progressive is one who insists upon recognizing new facts as they present themselvesone who adjusts legislation to these new facts.”
—Woodrow Wilson (18561924)
