Famous quotes containing the words population and/or data:

    “The paid wealth which hundreds in the community acquire in trade, or by the incessant expansions of our population and arts, enchants the eyes of all the rest; the luck of one is the hope of thousands, and the bribe acts like the neighborhood of a gold mine to impoverish the farm, the school, the church, the house, and the very body and feature of man.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “To write it, it took three months; to conceive it three minutes; to collect the data in it—all my life.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
