Famous quotes containing the words distribution, based and/or content:

    “My topic for Army reunions ... this summer: How to prepare for war in time of peace. Not by fortifications, by navies, or by standing armies. But by policies which will add to the happiness and the comfort of all our people and which will tend to the distribution of intelligence [and] wealth equally among all. Our strength is a contented and intelligent community.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “Captain, down where I come from we dearly love our whiskey, but we don’t drink with a man unless we respect him.”
    —James Poe, U.S. screenwriter, and Based On Play. Robert Aldrich. Sergeant Tolliver (Buddy Ebsen)

    “It is still not enough for language to have clarity and content ... it must also have a goal and an imperative. Otherwise from language we descend to chatter, from chatter to babble and from babble to confusion.”
    —René Daumal (1908–1944)
