Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or ratio:
“...a fixed aim furnishes us with a fixed measure, by which we can decide whether such or such an action proposed is worth trying for or not, and as aims must vary with the individual, the decisions of any two people as to the desirableness of an action may not be the same.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
“Official dignity tends to increase in inverse ratio to the importance of the country in which the office is held.”
