Famous quotes containing the word system:

    “Nothing is so well calculated to produce a death-like torpor in the country as an extended system of taxation and a great national debt.”
    —William Cobbett (1762–1835)

    “When the finishing stroke was put to his work, it suddenly expanded before the eyes of the astonished artist into the fairest of all the creations of Brahma. He had made a new system in making a staff, a world with full and fair proportions; in which, though the old cities and dynasties had passed away, fairer and more glorious ones had taken their places.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
