Authority Figure

Famous quotes containing the words authority and/or figure:

    I am still a learner, not a teacher, feeding somewhat omnivorously, browsing both stalk and leaves; but I shall perhaps be enabled to speak with more precision and authority by and by,—if philosophy and sentiment are not buried under a multitude of details.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    One figure can sometimes add up to a lot.
    Wesley Ruggles, U.S. screenwriter. Tira (Mae West)
