Itch/treatment

Famous quotes containing the words itch and/or treatment:

    Grandpa: Penny, why don’t you write a play about ism-mania?
    Penny: Ism-mania?
    Grandpa: Yeah, sure. You know, communism, fascism, voodooism. Everybody’s got an ism these days.
    Penny: It sounds like an itch or something.
    Grandpa: It’s just as catching. When things go a little bad these days, you go out and get yourself an ism and you’re in business.
    Robert Riskin (1897–1955)

    If the study of all these sciences, which we have enumerated, should ever bring us to their mutual association and relationship, and teach us the nature of the ties which bind them together, I believe that the diligent treatment of them will forward the objects which we have in view, and that the labor, which otherwise would be fruitless, will be well bestowed.
    Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
