Trial Field

Famous quotes containing the words trial and/or field:

    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)

    Father calls me William, sister calls me Will,
    Mother calls me Willie, but the fellers call me Bill!
    —Eugene Field (1850–1895)
