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

    “Man is God’s highest present development. He is the latest thing in God.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    “There has been something crude and heartless and unfeeling in our haste to succeed and be great. Our thought has been “Let every man look out for himself, let every generation look out for itself,” while we reared giant machinery which made it impossible that any but those who stood at the levers of control should have any chance to look out for themselves.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    ““... War on the destiny of man!
    Doom on the sun!”
    Before death takes you, O take back this.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “[The] elderly and timid single gentleman in Paris ... never drove down the Champs Elysees without expecting an accident, and commonly witnessing one; or found himself in the neighborhood of an official without calculating the chances of a bomb. So long as the rates of progress held good, these bombs would double in force and number every ten years.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
