Famous quotes containing the words original and/or owners:

    “Presumption is our natural and original malady. The most vulnerable and frail of all creatures is man, and at the same time the most arrogant.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “The work of the miner has its unavoidable incidents of discomfort and danger, and these should not be increased by the neglect of the owners to provide every practicable safety appliance. Economies which involve a sacrifice of human life are intolerable.”
    —Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
