Famous quotes containing the word article:

    “Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “As compared with the college politician, the real article seems like an amateur.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
