Famous quotes containing the words degree and/or offered:
“In all pointed sentences, some degree of accuracy must be sacrificed to conciseness.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“The idealist’s programme of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
