Degree

Famous quotes containing the word degree:

“A new degree of intellectual power seems cheap at any price.”

“I still lack to a considerable degree that naturally superior kind of manner that I would dearly like to possess.”
—Heinrich Himmler (1900–1945)

“The birth of the new constitutes a crisis, and its mastery calls for a crude and simple cast of mind—the mind of a fighter—in which the virtues of tribal cohesion and fierceness and infantile credulity and malleability are paramount. Thus every new beginning recapitulates in some degree man’s first beginning.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
