Famous quotes containing the words major and/or events:

    A major power can afford a military debacle only when it looks like a political victory.
    Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    Whatever events in progress shall disgust men with cities, and infuse into them the passion for country life, and country pleasures, will render a service to the whole face of this continent, and will further the most poetic of all the occupations of real life, the bringing out by art the native but hidden graces of the landscape.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
