System Reply

Famous quotes containing the words system and/or reply:

“Every political system is an accumulation of habits, customs, prejudices, and principles that have survived a long process of trial and error and of ceaseless response to changing circumstances. If the system works well on the whole, it is a lucky accident—the luckiest, indeed, that can befall a society.”
—Edward C. Banfield (b. 1916)

“To the query, “What is a friend?” his reply was “A single soul dwelling in two bodies.””
