Established

Famous quotes containing the word established:

    What if we fail to stop the erosion of cities by automobiles?... In that case America will hardly need to ponder a mystery that has troubled men for millennia: What is the purpose of life?

    Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)

    [Rousseau] has not had the precaution to throw any veil over his sentiments; and as he scorns to dissemble his contempt of established opinions, he could not wonder that all the zealots were in arms against him.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    A politician never forgets the precarious nature of elective life. We have never established a practice of tenure in public office.
