Famous quotes containing the word system:

    “Those words freedom and opportunity do not mean a license to climb upwards by pushing other people down. Any paternalistic system that tries to provide for security for everyone from above only calls for an impossible task and a regimentation utterly uncongenial to the spirit of our people.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
