Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or people:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes.

Like people thrown out to delay the wolves.
Nothing but fallibility was left us....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
