Famous quotes containing the words models, production and/or volumes:

    “The parents who wish to lead a quiet life I would say: Tell your children that they are very naughty—much naughtier than most children; point to the young people of some acquaintances as models of perfection, and impress your own children with a deep sense of their own inferiority. You carry so many more guns than they do that they cannot fight you. This is called moral influence and it will enable you to bounce them as much as you please.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    “The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    “Devise, wit; write, pen; for I am for whole volumes in folio.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
