Famous quotes containing the word percent:

    The ninety percent of human experience that does not fit into established narrative patterns falls into oblivion.

    Don’t forget what I discovered—that over ninety percent of all national deficits from 1921 to 1939 were caused by payments for past, present, and future wars.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    Social Security is a government program with a constituency made up of the old, the near old and those who hope or fear to grow old. After 215 years of trying, we have finally discovered a special interest that includes 100 percent of the population. Now we can vote ourselves rich.
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)
