Capital Flows

Famous quotes containing the words capital and/or flows:

“We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“Happy is the man whom the Muses love: sweet speech flows from his mouth.”
—Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)
