Famous quotes containing the words display, aspect and/or ratio:

    “I have a mind myself and recognize
    Mind when I meet with it in any guise.
    No one can know how glad I am to find
    On any sheet the least display of mind.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “The death of a dear friend, wife, brother, lover, which seemed nothing but privation, somewhat later assumes the aspect of a guide or genius; for it commonly operates revolutions in our way of life, terminates an epoch of infancy or of youth which was waiting to be closed, breaks up a wonted occupation, or a household, or style of living, and allows the formation of new ones more friendly to the growth of character.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “People are lucky and unlucky not according to what they get absolutely, but according to the ratio between what they get and what they have been led to expect.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
