Famous quotes containing the word distribution:

    “In this distribution of functions, the scholar is the delegated intellect. In the right state, he is, Man Thinking. In the degenerate state, when the victim of society, he tends to become a mere thinker, or, still worse, the parrot of other men’s thinking.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
