Justify Comparative Statics

Famous quotes containing the words justify and/or comparative:

    The compelled mother loves her child as the caged bird sings. The song does not justify the cage nor the love the enforcement.
    Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    If you believe that a nation is really better off which achieves for a comparative few, those who are capable of attaining it, high culture, ease, opportunity, and that these few from their enlightenment should give what they consider best to those less favored, then you naturally belong to the Republican Party. But if you believe that people must struggle slowly to the light for themselves, then it seems to me that you are a Democrat.
    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
