Famous quotes containing the words fell and/or system:
“Dizzily down the abyss he wheels—
So fell Darius. Upon his crown,
In the midst of the barn-yard he came down,
In a wonderful whirl of tangled strings,
Broken braces and broken springs,
Broken tail and broken wings,”

“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.”
