Famous quotes containing the words ripple and/or factor:
“The pure serene of memory in one man,
A ripple widening from a single stone
Winding around the waters of the world.”

“Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive factor; it is people, not things, that are decisive. The contest of strength is not only a contest of military and economic power, but also a contest of human power and morale. Military and economic power is necessarily wielded by people.”
—Mao Zedong (18931976)
