Famous quotes containing the word distribution:

    “Classical and romantic: private language of a family quarrel, a dead dispute over the distribution of emphasis between man and nature.”
    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    “There is the illusion of time, which is very deep; who has disposed of it? Mor come to the conviction that what seems the succession of thought is only the distribution of wholes into causal series.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The question for the country now is how to secure a more equal distribution of property among the people. There can be no republican institutions with vast masses of property permanently in a few hands, and large masses of voters without property.... Let no man get by inheritance, or by will, more than will produce at four per cent interest an income ... of fifteen thousand dollars] per year, or an estate of five hundred thousand dollars.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
