Famous quotes containing the words degree and/or granting:
“The world is burdened with young fogies. Old men with ossified minds are easily dealt with. But men who look young, act young and everlastingly harp on the fact that they are young, but who nevertheless think and act with a degree of caution that would be excessive in their grandfathers, are the curse of the world. Their very conservatism is secondhand, and they dont know what they are conserving.”
—Robertson Davies (b. 1913)
“The fates are not quite obdurate;
They have a grim, sardonic way
Of granting them who supplicate
The thing they wanted yesterday.”
—Roselle Mercier Montgomery (18741933)
