Power Stars

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or stars:

“I hate this shallow Americanism which hopes to get rich by credit, to get knowledge by raps on midnight tables, to learn the economy of the mind by phrenology, or skill without study, or mastery without apprenticeship, or the sale of goods through pretending that they sell, or power through making believe you are powerful, or through a packed jury or caucus, bribery and “repeating” votes, or wealth by fraud.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“The sun, the moon and the stars would have disappeared long ago ... had they happened to be within the reach of predatory human hands.”
