Population Loss

Famous quotes containing the words population and/or loss:

“The paid wealth which hundreds in the community acquire in trade, or by the incessant expansions of our population and arts, enchants the eyes of all the rest; the luck of one is the hope of thousands, and the bribe acts like the neighborhood of a gold mine to impoverish the farm, the school, the church, the house, and the very body and feature of man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“The loss of my sight was a great fillip. If I could go deaf and dumb I think I might pant on to be a hundred.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
