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)

“The truth, the absolute truth, is that the chief beauty for the theatre consists in fine bodily proportions.”
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)

“Average American’s simplest and commonest form of breakfast consists of coffee and beefsteak.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
