Famous quotes containing the words division of and/or division:

    God and the Devil are an effort after specialization and the division of labor.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    Don’t order any black things. Rejoice in his memory; and be radiant: leave grief to the children. Wear violet and purple.... Be patient with the poor people who will snivel: they don’t know; and they think they will live for ever, which makes death a division instead of a bond.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
