Consists

Famous quotes containing the word consists:

“[Government’s] true strength consists in leaving individuals and states as much as possible to themselves—in making itself felt, not in its power, but in its beneficence, not in its control, but in its protection, not in binding the states more closely to the center, but leaving each to move unobstructed in its proper orbit.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

“The secret of ugliness consists not in irregularity, but in being uninteresting.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“In my room, the world is beyond my understanding;
But when I walk I see that it consists of three or four hills and a cloud.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
