Initial Master Key

Famous quotes containing the words initial, master and/or key:

    Capital is a result of labor, and is used by labor to assist it in further production. Labor is the active and initial force, and labor is therefore the employer of capital.
    Henry George (1839–1897)

    Such thought such though have I that hold it tight
    Till meditation master all its parts,
    Nothing can stay my glance
    Until that glance run in the world’s despite
    To where the damned have howled away their hearts,
    And where the blessed dance....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The hypothesis I wish to advance is that ... the language of morality is in ... grave disorder.... What we possess, if this is true, are the fragments of a conceptual scheme, parts of which now lack those contexts from which their significance derived. We possess indeed simulacra of morality, we continue to use many of the key expressions. But we have—very largely if not entirely—lost our comprehension, both theoretical and practical, of morality.
    Alasdair Chalmers MacIntyre (b. 1929)
