Constitute

Famous quotes containing the word constitute:

    Every idea is endowed of itself with immortal life, like a human being. All created form, even that which is created by man, is immortal. For form is independent of matter: molecules do not constitute form.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    I will have never a noble,
    No lineage counted great;
    Fishers and choppers and ploughmen
    Shall constitute a state.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Fortuitous circumstances constitute the moulds that shape the majority of human lives, and the hasty impress of an accident is too often regarded as the relentless decree of all ordaining fate.
    Augusta Evans (1835–1909)
