Reasonable Man

Famous quotes containing the words reasonable and/or man:

“People run away from the name subsidy. It is a subsidy. I am not afraid to call it so. It is paid for the purpose of giving a merchant marine to the whole country so that the trade of the whole country will be benefitted thereby, and the men running the ships will of course make a reasonable profit.... Unless we have a merchant marine, our navy if called upon for offensive or defensive work is going to be most defective.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

““I am a man upo the lan,
An’ I am a silkie in the sea,
And when I’m far and far frae lan,
My dwelling is in Sule Skerrie.””
—Unknown. The Great Silkie of Sule Skerry (l. 9–12)
