Famous quotes containing the words extreme and/or points:

    “One cannot be too extreme in dealing with social ills; the extreme thing is generally the true thing.”
    —Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

    “The men who carry their points do not need to inquire of their constituents what they should say, but are themselves the country which they represent: nowhere are its emotions or opinions so instant and so true as in them; nowhere so pure from a selfish infusion.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
