Famous quotes containing the words nuclear, test, series, carried and/or site:

    “The emotional security and political stability in this country entitle us to be a nuclear power.”
    —Ronald, Sir Mason (b. 1930)

    “There is held to be no surer test of civilisation than the increase per head of the consumption of alcohol and tobacco. Yet alcohol and tobacco are recognisable poisons, so that their consumption has only to be carried far enough to destroy civilisation altogether.”
    —Havelock Ellis (1859–1939)

    “A sophistical rhetorician, inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity, and gifted with an egotistical imagination that can at all times command an interminable and inconsistent series of arguments to malign an opponent and to glorify himself.”
    —Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

    “The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
    With all their lives and cares,
    Are carried downwards by thy flood,
    And lost in following years.

    Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
    Bears all its sons away;
    They fly forgotten, as a dream
    Dies at the opening day.”
    —Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

    “The present hour is always wealthiest when it is poorer than the future ones, as that is the pleasantest site which affords the pleasantest prospects.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
