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)

    “The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line—the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea. It was a phase of this problem that caused the Civil War.”
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
