Method Inherited

Famous quotes containing the words method and/or inherited:

    Too poor for a bribe, and too proud to importune,
    He had not the method of making a fortune.
    Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

    Certainly ordinary language has no claim to be the last word, if there is such a thing. It embodies, indeed, something better than the metaphysics of the Stone Age, namely, as was said, the inherited experience and acumen of many generations of men.
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)
