Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or achievements:

    “a notable prince that was called King John;
    And he ruled England with main and with might,
    For he did great wrong, and maintained little right.”
    —Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 2–4)

    “Freedom of enterprise was from the beginning not altogether a blessing. As the liberty to work or to starve, it spelled toil, insecurity, and fear for the vast majority of the population. If the individual were no longer compelled to prove himself on the market, as a free economic subject, the disappearance of this freedom would be one of the greatest achievements of civilization.”
    —Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
