Famous quotes containing the words major and/or scale:

    “Never be afraid to meet to the hilt the demand of either work or friendship—two of life’s major assets.”
    —Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)

    “I love to weigh, to settle, to gravitate toward that which most strongly and rightfully attracts me;Mnot hang by the beam of the scale and try to weigh less,—not suppose a case, but take the case that is; to travel the only path I can, and that on which no power can resist me. It affords me no satisfaction to commence to spring an arch before I have got a solid foundation.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
