Obtained

Famous quotes containing the word obtained:

“The true poem is not that which the public read. There is always a poem not printed on paper,... in the poet’s life. It is what he has become through his work. Not how is the idea expressed in stone, or on canvas or paper, is the question, but how far it has obtained form and expression in the life of the artist. His true work will not stand in any prince’s gallery.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Few men in our history have ever obtained the Presidency by planning to obtain it.”
—James A. Garfield (1831–1881)

“Things obtained too easily are regarded too lightly.”
—Chinese proverb.
