High Altitude Tests

Famous quotes containing the words high, altitude and/or tests:

    When I was in high school I thought a vocation was a particular calling. Here’s a voice: “Come, follow me.” My idea of a calling now is not: “Come.” It’s like what I’m doing right now, not what I’m going to be. Life is a calling.
    Rebecca Sweeney (b. 1938)

    On a level plain, simple mounds look like hills; and the insipid flatness of our present bourgeoisie is to be measured by the altitude of its “great intellects.”
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    One of the tests of the civilization of people is the treatment of its criminals.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
