Degree

Famous quotes containing the word degree:

    Nothing in life possesses value except the degree of power—assuming that life itself is the will to power.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    The degree to which the child-rearing professionals continue to be out of touch with reality is astounding. For example, a widely read manual on breast-feeding, devotes fewer than two pages to the working mother.
    Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)

    A certain degree of ceremony is a necessary outwork of manners, as well as of religion; it keeps the forward and petulant at a proper distance, and is a very small restraint to the sensible and to the well-bred part of the world.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
