Famous quotes containing the words population and/or management:

    “A multitude of little superfluous precautions engender here a population of deputies and sub-officials, each of whom acquits himself with an air of importance and a rigorous precision, which seemed to say, though everything is done with much silence, “Make way, I am one of the members of the grand machine of state.””
    —Marquis De Custine (1790–1857)

    “People have described me as a “management bishop” but I say to my critics, “Jesus was a management expert too.””
    —George Carey (b. 1935)
