Preference Order

Famous quotes containing the words preference and/or order:

“Among all the world’s races, some obscure Bedouin tribes possibly apart, Americans are the most prone to misinformation. This is not the consequence of any special preference for mendacity, although at the higher levels of their public administration that tendency is impressive. It is rather that so much of what they themselves believe is wrong.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)

“Neatness begets order; but from order to taste there is the same difference as from taste to genius, or from love to friendship.”
—Johann Kaspar Lavater (1741–1801)
