Famous quotes containing the words construction and/or programme:

    Striving toward a goal puts a more pleasing construction on our advance toward death.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    The idealist’s programme of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.
    Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
