Famous quotes containing the word application:

    “The application requisite to the duties of the office I hold [governor of Virginia] is so excessive, and the execution of them after all so imperfect, that I have determined to retire from it at the close of the present campaign.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

Consider the flea!—incomparably the bravest of all the creatures of God, if ignorance of fear were courage.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
    —Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
