Easily Calculated

Famous quotes containing the words easily and/or calculated:

“There is all the poetry in the world in a name. It is a poem which the mass of men hear and read. What is poetry in the common sense, but a hearing of such jingling names? I want nothing better than a good word. The name of a thing may easily be more than the thing itself to me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“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.”
