Tackle System

Famous quotes containing the words tackle and/or system:

    Play with your fancies: and in them behold
    Upon the hempen tackle ship-boys climbing;
    Hear the shrill whistle which doth order give
    To sound confused; behold the threaden sails
    Borne with th’ invisible and creeping wind.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Nothing is so well calculated to produce a death-like torpor in the country as an extended system of taxation and a great national debt.
    William Cobbett (1762–1835)
