Famous quotes containing the word significance:

    “Politics is not an end, but a means. It is not a product, but a process. It is the art of government. Like other values it has its counterfeits. So much emphasis has been placed upon the false that the significance of the true has been obscured and politics has come to convey the meaning of crafty and cunning selfishness, instead of candid and sincere service.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    “I am not afraid that I shall exaggerate the value and significance of life, but that I shall not be up to the occasion which it is.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
