Famous quotes containing the words fill and/or factor:

    I cannot speke and loke lyke a saynct,
    Use wiles for witt and make deceyt a pleasure,
    And call crafft counsell, for proffet styll to paint.
    I cannot wrest the law to fill the coffer
    With innocent blode to fede my sellff fat,
    And doo most hurt where most hellp I offer.
    Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

    Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive factor; it is people, not things, that are decisive. The contest of strength is not only a contest of military and economic power, but also a contest of human power and morale. Military and economic power is necessarily wielded by people.
    Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
