License Built

Famous quotes containing the words license and/or built:

    It would much conduce to the public benefit, if, instead of discouraging free-thinking, there was erected in the midst of this free country a dianoetic academy, or seminary for free-thinkers, provided with retired chambers, and galleries, and shady walks and groves, where, after seven years spent in silence and meditation, a man might commence a genuine free-thinker, and from that time forward, have license to think what he pleased, and a badge to distinguish him from counterfeits.
    George Berkeley (1685–1753)

    Once I built a railroad, made it run,
    Made it race against time ...
    Now it’s done,
    Buddy, can you spare a dime?
    Yip Harburg (1898–1981)
