Famous quotes containing the word elements:

    The elements of success in this business do not differ from the elements of success in any other. Competition is keen and bitter. Advertising is as large an element as in any other business, and since the usual avenues of successful exploitation are closed to the profession, the adage that the best advertisement is a pleased customer is doubly true for this business.
    Madeleine [Blair], U.S. prostitute and “madam.” Madeleine, ch. 5 (1919)

    But all subsists by elemental strife;
    And Passions are the elements of Life.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    Icebergs behoove the soul
    (both being self-made from elements least visible
    to see them so; fleshed, fair, erected indivisible.
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
