Public Function

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or function:

“Consider any individual at any period of his life, and you will always find him preoccupied with fresh plans to increase his comfort.

—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

“The function of muscle is to pull and not to push, except in the case of the genitals and the tongue.”
