Famous quotes containing the words test and/or flights:

    “Unless the people can choose their leaders and rulers, and can revoke their choice at intervals long enough to test their measures by results, the government will be a tyranny exercised in the interests of whatever classes or castes or mobs or cliques have this choice.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “A noble soul is not the one that can manage the highest flights but the one that rises very little and falls very little but always dwells in a free, resplendent atmosphere and altitude.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
