Planning Committees

Famous quotes containing the words planning and/or committees:

“Few men in our history have ever obtained the Presidency by planning to obtain it.”
—James A. Garfield (1831–1881)

“When committees gather, each member is necessarily an actor, uncontrollably acting out the part of himself, reading the lines that identify him, asserting his identity.... We are designed, coded, it seems, to place the highest priority on being individuals, and we must do this first, at whatever cost, even if it means disability for the group.”
—Lewis Thomas (b. 1913)
