Degree

Famous quotes containing the word degree:

    I still lack to a considerable degree that naturally superior kind of manner that I would dearly like to possess.
    Heinrich Himmler (1900–1945)

    The birth of the new constitutes a crisis, and its mastery calls for a crude and simple cast of mind—the mind of a fighter—in which the virtues of tribal cohesion and fierceness and infantile credulity and malleability are paramount. Thus every new beginning recapitulates in some degree man’s first beginning.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
