Scheme

Famous quotes containing the word scheme:

“Your scheme must be the framework of the universe; all other schemes will soon be ruins.”

“In the scheme of our national government, the presidency is preeminently the people’s office.”
—Grover Cleveland (1837–1908)

“I have no scheme about it,—no designs on men at all; and, if I had, my mode would be to tempt them with the fruit, and not with the manure. To what end do I lead a simple life at all, pray? That I may teach others to simplify their lives?—and so all our lives be simplified merely, like an algebraic formula? Or not, rather, that I may make use of the ground I have cleared, to live more worthily and profitably?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
