Meagre Set/banach%e2%80%93mazur Game

Famous quotes containing the words meagre, set and/or game:

    All earth was but one thought—and that was death,
    Immediate and inglorious; and the pang
    Of famine fed upon all entrails—men
    Died, and their bones were tombless as their flesh;
    The meagre by the meagre were devour’d,
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    I think it better that in times like these
    A poet’s mouth be silent, for in truth
    We have no gift to set a statesman right.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The first requirement of politics is not intellect or stamina but patience. Politics is a very long run game and the tortoise will usually beat the hare.
    John Major (b. 1943)
