Famous quotes containing the words greek and/or key:

    “In all the good Greek of Plato
    I lack my roastbeef and potato.

    A better man was Aristotle,
    Pulling steady on the bottle.”
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    “Now narrow minds can develop as well through persecution as through benevolence; they can assure themselves of their power by tyrannizing cruelly or beneficently over others; they go the way their nature guides them. Add to this the guidance of interest, and you will have the key to most social riddles.”
    —Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
