Famous quotes containing the word description:

    —Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    “A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.”
    —John Locke (1632–1704)

    “To give an accurate description of what has never occurred is not merely the proper occupation of the historian, but the inalienable privilege of any man of parts and culture.”
