Neighbour Principle

Famous quotes containing the words neighbour and/or principle:

“Certain it is that scandal is good brisk talk, whereas praise of one’s neighbour is by no means lively hearing. An acquaintance grilled, scored, devilled, and served with mustard and cayenne pepper excites the appetite; whereas a slice of cold friend with currant jelly is but a sickly, unrelishing meat.”
—William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863)

“Antagonistic cooperation is the principle of all markets and many marriages.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
