Consists

Famous quotes containing the word consists:

    To regard the successful experiences which ensue from a belief as a criterion of its truth is one thing—and a thing that is sometimes bad and sometimes good—but to assume that truth itself consists in the process by which it is verified is a different thing and always bad.
    William Pepperell Montague (1842–1910)

    The whole duty of man consists in being reasonable and just.... I am reasonable because I know the difference between understanding and not understanding and I am just because I have no opinion about things I I don’t understand.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

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