Compact Object

Famous quotes containing the words compact and/or object:

    What compact mean you to have with us?
    Will you be pricked in number of our friends,
    Or shall we on, and not depend on you?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Luxury, or a refinement on the pleasures and conveniences of life, had long been supposed the source of every corruption in government, and the immediate cause of faction, sedition, civil wars, and the total loss of liberty. It was, therefore, universally regarded as a vice, and was an object of declamation to all satyrists, and severe moralists.
    David Hume (1711–1776)
