Famous quotes containing the words extreme and/or points:

    “As we grow older, we live more coarsely, we relax a little in our disciplines, and, to some extent, cease to obey our finest instincts. But we should be fastidious to the extreme of sanity, disregarding the gibes of those who are more unfortunate than ourselves.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Type of the wise, who soar, but never roam—
    True to the kindred points of Heaven and Home!”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
