Famous quotes containing the words secondary and/or sources:

    A man may be defeated by his own secondary successes.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    The American grips himself, at the very sources of his consciousness, in a grip of care: and then, to so much of the rest of life, is indifferent. Whereas, the European hasn’t got so much care in him, so he cares much more for life and living.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
