Summary Quotations
Egotism is the source and summary of all faults and miseries.
Thomas Carlyle
I would like that to be known; these facts are in the summary which I think is a very good one.
John Sherman Cooper
Normally I work out a general summary of what I mean to do, then start writing, and the details can be different from my anticipation. So there is considerable flow, but always within channels.
Piers Anthony

Caleb Cushing

Robert Welch
Once every five hundred years or so, a summary statement about poetry comes along that we can't imagine ourselves living without.

John Sherman Cooper
It is a fair summary of history to say that the safeguards of liberty have been forged in controversies involving not very nice people.
Felix Frankfurter
