Famous quotes containing the words regular and/or abstract:

“[I]n our country economy, letter writing is an hors d’oeuvre. It is no part of the regular routine of the day.”

“Rights! There are no rights whatever without corresponding duties. Look at the history of the growth of our constitution, and you will see that our ancestors never upon any occasion stated, as a ground for claiming any of their privileges, an abstract right inherent in themselves; you will nowhere in our parliamentary records find the miserable sophism of the Rights of Man.”
