Negative Returns

Famous quotes containing the words negative and/or returns:

“In a country where misery and want were the foundation of the social structure, famine was periodic, death from starvation common, disease pervasive, thievery normal, and graft and corruption taken for granted, the elimination of these conditions in Communist China is so striking that negative aspects of the new rule fade in relative importance.”
—Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)

“Any man today who returns from work, sinks into a chair, and calls for his pipe is a man with an appetite for danger.”
