Famous quotes containing the words elevation and/or point:
“In private life he was good-natured, chearful, social; inelegant in his manners, loose in his morals. He had a coarse, strong wit, which he was too free of for a man in his station, as it is always inconsistent with dignity. He was very able as a minister, but without a certain elevation of mind necessary for great good, or great mischief.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Courage is not simply one of the virtues but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means at the point of highest reality.”
—C.S. (Clive Staples)
