Famous quotes containing the words external, power and/or supply:
“The ideal of brotherhood of man, the building of the Just City, is one that cannot be discarded without lifelong feelings of disappointment and loss. But, if we are to live in the real world, discard it we must. Its very nobility makes the results of its breakdown doubly horrifying, and it breaks down, as it always will, not by some external agency but because it cannot work.”
—Kingsley Amis (1922–1995)
“The fact is that my wife if she had common sense would have more power over me than any other whatsoever, for my heart always alights upon the nearest perch.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“One cool judgment is worth a thousand hasty counsels. The thing to do is to supply light and not heat.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
