Famous quotes containing the words house and/or system:
“In a rich man’s house there is no place to spit but his face.”
—Diogenes of Sinope (c. 410–c. 320 B.C.)
“Nobody is glad in the gladness of another, and our system is one of war, of an injurious superiority. Every child of the Saxon race is educated to wish to be first. It is our system; and a man comes to measure his greatness by the regrets, envies, and hatreds of his competitors.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
