Famous quotes containing the word scope:

    “Every person is responsible for all the good within the scope of his abilities, and for no more, and none can tell whose sphere is the largest.”
    —Gail Hamilton (1833–1896)

    “For it is not the bare words but the scope of the writer that gives the true light, by which any writing is to be interpreted; and they that insist upon single texts, without considering the main design, can derive no thing from them clearly.”
    —Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

    “A country survives its legislation. That truth should not comfort the conservative nor depress the radical. For it means that public policy can enlarge its scope and increase its audacity, can try big experiments without trembling too much over the result. This nation could enter upon the most radical experiments and could afford to fail in them.”
    —Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
