Famous quotes containing the words general and/or reference:

    “The reputation of generosity is to be purchased pretty cheap; it does not depend so much upon a man’s general expense, as it does upon his giving handsomely where it is proper to give at all. A man, for instance, who should give a servant four shillings, would pass for covetous, while he who gave him a crown, would be reckoned generous; so that the difference of those two opposite characters, turns upon one shilling.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “The common behavior of mankind is the system of reference by means of which we interpret an unknown language.”
    —Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
