Fundamental System

Famous quotes containing the words fundamental and/or system:

“Each [side in this war] looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other.

—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

“Delight at having understood a very abstract and obscure system leads most people to believe in the truth of what it demonstrates.”
