Famous quotes containing the words quota, count and/or system:
“Some are petitioning the State to dissolve the Union, to disregard the requisitions of the President. Why do they not dissolve it themselves,—the union between themselves and the State,—and refuse to pay their quota into its treasury? Do not they stand in the same relation to the State that the State does to the Union? And have not the same reasons prevented the State from resisting the Union which have prevented them from resisting the State?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“While fortune smiles, you’ll count your friends by scores;
If the sky clouds over, you will be alone.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
“Delight at having understood a very abstract and obscure system leads most people to believe in the truth of what it demonstrates.”
