Famous quotes containing the words highest, crude, death and/or rates:

    “You would compliment a coxcomb doing a good act, but you would not praise an angel. The silence that accepts merit as the most natural thing in the world, is the highest applause.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Variability is one of the virtues of a woman. It avoids the crude requirement of polygamy. So long as you have one good wife you are sure to have a spiritual harem.”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    “Not one death but many,
    not accumulation but change, the feed-back proves, the feed-back is
    the law”
    —Charles Olson (1910–1970)

    “Good government cannot be found on the bargain-counter. We have seen samples of bargain-counter government in the past when low tax rates were secured by increasing the bonded debt for current expenses or refusing to keep our institutions up to the standard in repairs, extensions, equipment, and accommodations. I refuse, and the Republican Party refuses, to endorse that method of sham and shoddy economy.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
