Famous quotes containing the word consist:
“During the Suffragette revolt of 1913 I ... [urged] that what was needed was not the vote, but a constitutional amendment enacting that all representative bodies shall consist of women and men in equal numbers, whether elected or nominated or coopted or registered or picked up in the street like a coroner’s jury. In the case of elected bodies the only way of effecting this is by the Coupled Vote. The representative unit must not be a man or a woman but a man and a woman.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“It is essential that none of the other great powers shall secure these islands [Hawaii]. Such a possession would not consist with our safety and with the peace of the world.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“Truth is always in harmony with herself, and is not concerned chiefly to reveal the justice that may consist with wrong-doing.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
