Consists

Famous quotes containing the word consists:

“A country is strong which consists of wealthy families, every member of whom is interested in defending a common treasure; it is weak when composed of scattered individuals, to whom it matters little whether they obey seven or one, a Russian or a Corsican, so long as each keeps his own plot of land, blind in their wretched egotism, to the fact that the day is coming when this too will be torn from them.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

“Politics is not the art of the possible. It consists in choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)

“Wise living consists perhaps less in acquiring good habits than in acquiring as few habits as possible.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
