Famous quotes containing the words resource and/or foundation:
“The waste of plenty is the resource of scarcity.”
—Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866)
“The poet needs a ground in popular tradition on which he may work, and which, again, may restrain his art within the due temperance. It holds him to the people, supplies a foundation for his edifice; and, in furnishing so much work done to his hand, leaves him at leisure, and in full strength for the audacities of his imagination.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
