Famous quotes containing the words economic and/or capacity:
“The idealists programme of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (18641929)
“One would never have guessed that the world had such a capacity for genuine grief. The most we can do is exploit our memories of his excellence.”
