Joint Task Group

Famous quotes containing the words joint, task and/or group:

“No Government can be long secure without a formidable Opposition. It reduces their supporters to that tractable number which can be managed by the joint influences of fruition and hope.

—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

“For the most part, only the light characters travel. Who are you that have no task to keep you at home?”

“For me, as a beginning novelist, all other living writers form a control group for whom the world is a placebo.”
—Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
