Famous quotes containing the words retired and/or numbers:
“Nothing is so abject and pathetic as a politician who has lost his job, save only a retired stud-horse.”

“The only phenomenon with which writing has always been concomitant is the creation of cities and empires, that is the integration of large numbers of individuals into a political system, and their grading into castes or classes.... It seems to have favored the exploitation of human beings rather than their enlightenment.”
