Famous quotes containing the words significance and/or purpose:
“The hysterical find too much significance in things. The depressed find too little.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races. There is a physical difference between the two, which, in my judgement, will probably for ever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality; and inasmuch as it becomes a necessity that there must be a difference, I ... am in favour of the race to which I belong having the superior position.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
