Breeding Population

Famous quotes containing the words breeding and/or population:

    The breeding we give young people is ordinarily but an additional self-love, by which we make them have a better opinion of themselves.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    A multitude of little superfluous precautions engender here a population of deputies and sub-officials, each of whom acquits himself with an air of importance and a rigorous precision, which seemed to say, though everything is done with much silence, “Make way, I am one of the members of the grand machine of state.”
    Marquis De Custine (1790–1857)
