Watts Mills

Famous quotes containing the words watts and/or mills:

    In vain we lavish out our lives,
    To gather empty wind;
    The choicest blessings earth can yield
    Will starve a hungry mind.
    —Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

    Prestige is the shadow of money and power. Where these are, there it is. Like the national market for soap or automobiles and the enlarged arena of federal power, the national cash-in area for prestige has grown, slowly being consolidated into a truly national system.
    —C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
