Famous quotes containing the words feathers, standard and/or library:
“Too many feathers can sink a boat, and too many knick-knacks can break an axle.”
—Chinese proverb.
“I don’t have any problem with a reporter or a news person who says the President is uninformed on this issue or that issue. I don’t think any of us would challenge that. I do have a problem with the singular focus on this, as if that’s the only standard by which we ought to judge a president. What we learned in the last administration was how little having an encyclopedic grasp of all the facts has to do with governing.”
—David R. Gergen (b. 1942)
“A man’s library is a sort of harem.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
