Famous quotes containing the words distinguish between, distinguish, gross, national and/or product:

    People find ideas a bore because they do not distinguish between live ones and stuffed ones on a shelf.

    Let us distinguish between acting intentionally and acting deliberately or on purpose, as far as this can be done by attending to what language can teach us.
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)

    How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable
    Seem to me all the uses of this world!
    Fie on’t, ah fie! ‘tis an unweeded garden
    That grows to seed, things rank and gross in nature
    Possess it merely.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    All men are lonely. But sometimes it seems to me that we Americans are the loneliest of all. Our hunger for foreign places and new ways has been with us almost like a national disease. Our literature is stamped with a quality of longing and unrest, and our writers have been great wanderers.
    Carson McCullers (1917–1967)

    A gentleman opposed to their enfranchisement once said to me, “Women have never produced anything of any value to the world.” I told him the chief product of the women had been the men, and left it to him to decide whether the product was of any value.
    Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
