Fault System

Famous quotes containing the words fault and/or system:

“And oftentimes excusing of a fault
Doth make the fault the worser by th’ excuse.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Social and scientific progress are assured, sir, once our great system of postpossession payments is in operation, not the installment plan, no sir, but a system of small postpossession payments that clinch the investment. No possible rational human wish unfulfilled. A man with a salary of fifty dollars a week can start payments on a Rolls-Royce, the Waldorf-Astoria, or a troupe of trained seals if he so desires.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
