Putting Green

Famous quotes containing the words putting and/or green:

“I talk democracy to these men and women. I tell them that they have the vote, and that theirs is the kingdom and the power and the glory. I say to them “You are supreme: exercise your power.” They say, “That’s right: tell us what to do;” and I tell them. I say “Exercise your vote intelligently by voting for me.” And they do. That’s democracy; and a splendid thing it is too for putting the right men in the right place.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

“Never stay up on the barren heights of cleverness, but come down into the green valleys of silliness.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
