Consists

Famous quotes containing the word consists:

    Tact in audacity consists in knowing how far we may go too far.
    Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)

    He had discovered a great law of human action, without knowing it—namely, that in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain. If he had been a great and wise philosopher, like the writer of this book, he would now have comprehended that Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do and that Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

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