Organization Called Liberal

Famous quotes containing the words organization, called and/or liberal:

    Politics, as a practise, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.

    A book is quite a beautiful thing, even more so learning. Together, however, all they amount to is called book-learning.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    But alas! I never could keep a promise. I do not blame myself for this weakness, because the fault must lie in my physical organization. It is likely that such a very liberal amount of space was given to the organ which enables me to make promises, that the organ which should enable me to keep them was crowded out. But I grieve not. I like no half-way things. I had rather have one faculty nobly developed than two faculties of mere ordinary capacity.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
