Famous quotes containing the words extreme and/or points:

    “In truth, knowledge is a great and very useful quality; those who despise it give evidence enough of their stupidity. Yet I do not set its value at that extreme measure that some attribute to it.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “The men who carry their points do not need to inquire of their constituents what they should say, but are themselves the country which they represent: nowhere are its emotions or opinions so instant and so true as in them; nowhere so pure from a selfish infusion.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
