Core Material

Famous quotes containing the words core and/or material:

“The threadbare trees, so poor and thin,
They are no wealthier than I;
But with as brave a core within
They rear their boughs to the October sky.
Poor knights they are which bravely wait
The charge of Winter’s cavalry,
Keeping a simple Roman state,
Discumbered of their Persian luxury.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“A second-class mind dealing with third-class material is hardly a necessity of life.”
—Harold Laski (1893–1950)
