Famous quotes containing the words notable, latin, american and/or poets:

    “Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “Wealth is so much the greatest good that Fortune has to bestow that in the Latin and English languages it has usurped her name.”
    —William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)

    “You are, I am sure, aware that genuine popular support in the United States is required to carry out any Government policy, foreign or domestic. The American people make up their own minds and no governmental action can change it.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “When poets go off the boil, they sound like bumble bees; when critics do, they sound like sewing machines.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
