Natural Rate

Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or rate:

    Peter: I’ll bet there isn’t a good piggy-back rider in your whole family. I never knew a rich man yet who could piggy-back ride.
    Ellie: You’re prejudiced.
    Peter: You show me a good piggy-backer and I’ll show you a real human. Now you take Abraham Lincoln, for instance. A natural piggy-backer.
    Robert Riskin (1897–1955)

    Writing a book I have found to be like building a house. A man forms a plan, and collects materials. He thinks he has enough to raise a large and stately edifice; but after he has arranged, compacted and polished, his work turns out to be a very small performance. The authour however like the builder, knows how much labour his work has cost him; and therefore estimates it at a higher rate than other people think it deserves,
    James Boswell (1740–1795)
