Famous quotes containing the words supported and/or hardware:
“Absolute power can only be supported by error, ignorance and prejudice.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.””
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
