Famous quotes containing the words medium and/or enterprises:
“In the one instance, the dreamer ... loses sight of this object in a wilderness of deductions and suggestions ... until ... he finds the incitamentum, or first cause of his musings,... forgotten. In my case, the primary object was invariably frivolous, although assuming, through the medium of my distempered vision, a refracted and unreal importance.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“There is nothing man will not attempt when great enterprises hold out the promise of great rewards.”
—Titus Livius (Livy)
