Famous quotes containing the word degree:

    “Some crimes get honor and renown by being committed with more pomp, by a greater number, and in a higher degree of wickedness than others. Hence it is that public robberies, plunderings, and sackings have been looked upon as excellencies and noble achievements, and the seizing of whole countries, however unjustly and barbarously, is dignified with the glorious name of gaining conquests.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “Every man beholds his human condition with a degree of melancholy. As a ship aground is battered by the waves, so man, imprisoned in mortal life, lies open to the mercy of coming events.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “There are no ninety degree angles in the Garden of Delight.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
