Existing System

Famous quotes containing the words existing and/or system:

    A fierce unrest seethes at the core,
    Of all existing things:,
    It was the eager wish to soar,
    That gave the gods their wings.
    Don Marquis (1878–1937)

    Nobody is glad in the gladness of another, and our system is one of war, of an injurious superiority. Every child of the Saxon race is educated to wish to be first. It is our system; and a man comes to measure his greatness by the regrets, envies, and hatreds of his competitors.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
