House Distribution

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or distribution:

    When cups went round at close of day
    Is not that how good stories run?
    The gods were sitting at the board
    In their great house at Slievenamon.
    They sang a drowsy song, or snored,
    For all were full of wine and meat.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The man who pretends that the distribution of income in this country reflects the distribution of ability or character is an ignoramus. The man who says that it could by any possible political device be made to do so is an unpractical visionary. But the man who says that it ought to do so is something worse than an ignoramous and more disastrous than a visionary: he is, in the profoundest Scriptural sense of the word, a fool.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
