Famous quotes containing the words point and/or mission:
“The trouble with Reason is that it becomes meaningless at the exact point where it refuses to act.”
—Bernard Devoto (1897–1955)
“Every Age has its own peculiar faith.... Any attempt to translate into facts the mission of one Age with the machinery of another, can only end in an indefinite series of abortive efforts. Defeated by the utter want of proportion between the means and the end, such attempts might produce martyrs, but never lead to victory.”
—Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
