Famous quotes containing the words national and/or committees:

    A good man will not engage even in a national cause, without examining the justice of it.
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

    A committee is organic rather than mechanical in its nature: it is not a structure but a plant. It takes root and grows, it flowers, wilts, and dies, scattering the seed from which other committees will bloom in their turn.
    C. Northcote Parkinson (1909–1993)
