Highest Common Factor

Famous quotes containing the words highest, common and/or factor:

“To coöperate in the highest as well as the lowest sense, means to get our living together. I heard it proposed lately that two young men should travel together over the world, the one without money, earning his means as he went, before the mast and behind the plow, the other carrying a bill of exchange in his pocket. It was easy to see that they could not long be companions or coöperate, since one would not operate at all. They would part at the first interesting crisis in their adventures.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“But genius is religious. It is a larger imbibing of the common heart.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“You factor in racism as a reality and you keep moving.”
—Jewell Jackson McCabe (b. 1945)
