Famous quotes containing the words sage and/or system:

“The sage belongs to the same obsolete repertory as the virtuous maiden and the enlightened monarch.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“Nobody is glad in the gladness of another, and our system is one of war, of an injurious superiority. Every child of the Saxon race is educated to wish to be first. It is our system; and a man comes to measure his greatness by the regrets, envies, and hatreds of his competitors.”
