Famous quotes containing the words rational and/or function:

    While the miser is merely a capitalist gone mad, the capitalist is a rational miser.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    “... The state’s one function is to give.
    The bud must bloom till blowsy blown
    Its petals loosen and are strown;
    And that’s a fate it can’t evade
    Unless ‘twould rather wilt than fade.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
