Famous quotes containing the words nominal and/or width:
“Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser—in fees, expenses, and waste of time. As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Newly stumbling to and fro
All they find, outside the fold,
Is a wretched width of cold.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
