Famous quotes containing the words altered and/or due:

“We got our new rifled muskets this morning. They are mostly old muskets, many of them used, altered from flint-lock to percussion ... but the power of the gun was fully as great as represented. The ball at one-fourth mile passed through the largest rails; at one-half mile almost the same.... I think it an excellent arm.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“The unpredictability inherent in human affairs is due largely to the fact that the by-products of a human process are more fateful than the product.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
