Famous quotes containing the words degree and/or offered:
“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)
“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)
