Famous quotes containing the words town, development and/or corporations:

    “They say this town is full of cozenage:
    As nimble jugglers that deceive the eye,
    Dark-working sorcerers that change the mind,
    Soul-killing witches that deform the body,
    Disguised cheaters, prating mountebanks,
    And many such-like liberties of sin.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Men are only as good as their technical development allows them to be.”
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)

    “The greater speed and success that distinguish the planting of the human race in this country, over all other plantations in history, owe themselves mainly to the new subdivisions of the State into small corporations of land and power.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
