Famous quotes containing the words extreme and/or points:

    “We are in a period when old questions are settled and the new are not yet brought forward. Extreme party action, if continued in such a time, would ruin the party. Moderation is its only chance. The party out of power gains by all partisan conduct of those in power.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “Type of the wise, who soar, but never roam—
    True to the kindred points of Heaven and Home!”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
