Dab System

Famous quotes containing the words dab and/or system:

“Though intelligence is powerless to modify character, it is a dab hand at finding euphemisms for its weaknesses.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

“Fear, coercion, punishment, are the masculine remedies for moral weakness, but statistics show their failure for centuries. Why not change the system and try the education of the moral and intellectual faculties, cheerful surroundings, inspiring influences? Everything in our present system tends to lower the physical vitality, the self-respect, the moral tone, and to harden instead of reforming the criminal.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
