Famous quotes containing the words extreme and/or points:

    “The American doctrinaire is the converse of the American demagogue, and, in this way, is scarcely less injurious to the public. The first deals in poetry, the last in cant. He is as much a visionary on one side, as the extreme theoretical democrat is a visionary on the other.”
    —James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)

    “It’s my feeling that God lends you your children until they’re about eighteen years old. If you haven’t made your points with them by then, it’s too late.”
    —Betty Ford (b. 1918)
