Famous quotes containing the words mutual and/or aid:

    Rules and particular inferences alike are justified by being brought into agreement with each other. A rule is amended if it yields an inference we are unwilling to accept; an inference is rejected if it violates a rule we are unwilling to amend. The process of justification is the delicate one of making mutual adjustments between rules and accepted inferences; and in the agreement achieved lies the only justification needed for either.
    Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)

    Furniture! Thank God, I can sit and I can stand without the aid of a furniture warehouse.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
