Famous quotes containing the word construction:

—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“When the leaders choose to make themselves bidders at an auction of popularity, their talents, in the construction of the state, will be of no service. They will become flatterers instead of legislators; the instruments, not the guides, of the people.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
“Striving toward a goal puts a more pleasing construction on our advance toward death.”
