Short Range Ir

Famous quotes containing the words short and/or range:

“If true that notion, which but few contest,
That in the way of wit short things are best,
Then in good epigrams two virtues meet,
For ‘tis their glory to be short and sweet.”
—Anonymous. From A Collection of Epigrams (1727)

“Culture is the suggestion, from certain best thoughts, that a man has a range of affinities through which he can modulate the violence of any master-tones that have a droning preponderance in his scale, and succor him against himself. Culture redresses this imbalance, puts him among equals and superiors, revives the delicious sense of sympathy, and warns him of the dangers of solitude and repulsion.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
