Magnitude Quotations It is often said that the magnitude of a people is measured by their ability to know how to win. Jose Eduardo Dos Santos A tragedy is a representation of an action that is whole and complete and of a certain magnitude. A whole is what has a beginning and middle and end. Aristotle It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters. Mother Teresa The consequences of things are not always proportionate to the apparent magnitude of those events that have produced them. Thus the American Revolution, from which little was expected, produced much; but the French Revolution, from which much was expected, produced little. Charles Caleb Colton Great minds are related to the brief span of time during which they live as great buildings are to a little square in which they stand: you cannot see them in all their magnitude because you are standing too close to them. Arthur Schopenhauer
