Famous quotes containing the words mission and/or statement:
“The mission is too important to allow you to jeopardize it.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
“Truth is that concordance of an abstract statement with the ideal limit towards which endless investigation would tend to bring scientific belief, which concordance the abstract statement may possess by virtue of the confession of its inaccuracy and one-sidedness, and this confession is an essential ingredient of truth.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
