Famous quotes containing the words user, agent and/or problem:

    “A worker may be the hammer’s master, but the hammer still prevails. A tool knows exactly how it is meant to be handled, while the user of the tool can only have an approximate idea.”
    —Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

    “Caution is the confidential agent of selfishness.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    “From cradle to grave this problem of running order through chaos, direction through space, discipline through freedom, unity through multiplicity, has always been, and must always be, the task of education, as it is the moral of religion, philosophy, science, art, politics and economy; but a boy’s will is his life, and he dies when it is broken, as the colt dies in harness, taking a new nature in becoming tame.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
