Famous quotes containing the words political and/or division:

    “As to your kind wishes for myself, allow me to say I can not enter the ring on the money basis—first, because, in the main, it is wrong; and secondly, I have not, and can not get, the money. I say, in the main, the use of money is wrong; but for certain objects, in a political contest, the use of some, is both right, and indispensable.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “God and the Devil are an effort after specialization and the division of labor.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
