Famous quotes containing the words skill and/or points:
“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 (18031882)
“Type of the wise, who soar, but never roam
True to the kindred points of Heaven and Home!”
—William Wordsworth (17701850)
