Famous quotes containing the words agencies, large, numbers, excepted and/or positions:

    “While it is generally agreed that the visible expressions and agencies are necessary instruments, civilization seems to depend far more fundamentally upon the moral and intellectual qualities of human beings—upon the spirit that animates mankind.”
    —Mary Ritter Beard (1876–1958)

    “The educational system in large countries will always be utterly mediocre, for the same reason that the cooking in large kitchens is mediocre at best.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “The forward Youth that would appear
    Must now forsake his Muses dear,
    Nor in the Shadows sing
    His Numbers languishing.”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    “He is the only man of Italy,
    Always excepted my dear Claudio.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “An ... important antidote to American democracy is American gerontocracy. The positions of eminence and authority in Congress are allotted in accordance with length of service, regardless of quality. Superficial observers have long criticized the United States for making a fetish of youth. This is unfair. Uniquely among modern organs of public and private administration, its national legislature rewards senility.”
    —John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
