Famous quotes containing the words sufficient and/or reason:

“Parents vary in their sense of what would be suitable repayment for creating, sustaining, and tolerating you all those years, and what circumstances would be drastic enough for presenting the voucher. Obviously there is no repayment that would be sufficient . . . but the effort to call in the debt of life is too outrageous to be treated as anything other than a joke.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)

“Nothing genuinely historical was ever lost in this country. For this reason we have two ruling parties: villains and fools.”
