Accumulation

Famous quotes containing the word accumulation:

    Biologically the species is the accumulation of the experiments of all its successful individuals since the beginning.
    —H.G. (Herbert George)

    Every political system is an accumulation of habits, customs, prejudices, and principles that have survived a long process of trial and error and of ceaseless response to changing circumstances. If the system works well on the whole, it is a lucky accident—the luckiest, indeed, that can befall a society.
    Edward C. Banfield (b. 1916)

    “Under an accumulation of staggerers, no man can be considered a free agent. No man knocks himself down; if his destiny knocks him down, his destiny must pick him up again.”
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
