Famous quotes containing the words smart and/or materials:

    For every family had one cat at least in the bag.
    —Christopher Smart (1722–1771)

    The competent leader of men cares little for the niceties of other peoples’ characters: he cares much—everything—for the exterior uses to which they may be put.... These are men to be moved. How should he move them? He supplies the power; others simply the materials on which that power operates.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
