Famous quotes containing the words table of, table and/or systems:

    “A sigh for every so many breath,
    And for every so many sigh a death.
    That’s what I always tell my wife
    Is the multiplication table of life.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Language was vigorous because, because ... editors usually “laid all the cards on the table so as to leave their hands ... free for more persuasive arguments!” The citizenry at large retaliated as best they could.
    State of Utah, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    No civilization ... would ever have been possible without a framework of stability, to provide the wherein for the flux of change. Foremost among the stabilizing factors, more enduring than customs, manners and traditions, are the legal systems that regulate our life in the world and our daily affairs with each other.
    Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
