Key Main Component

Famous quotes containing the words key, main and/or component:

    Every revolution was first a thought in one man’s mind, and when the same thought occurs in another man, it is the key to that era.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Whoever considers morality the main objective of human existence, seems to me like a person who defines the purpose of a clock as not going wrong. The first objective for a clock, is, however, that it does run; not going wrong is an additional regulative function. If not a watch’s greatest accomplishment were not going wrong, unwound watches might be the best.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    ... no one knows anything about a strike until he has seen it break down into its component parts of human beings.
    Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)
