Speaking Population

Famous quotes containing the words speaking and/or population:

    Happy is the hearing man; unhappy the speaking man.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    A multitude of little superfluous precautions engender here a population of deputies and sub-officials, each of whom acquits himself with an air of importance and a rigorous precision, which seemed to say, though everything is done with much silence, “Make way, I am one of the members of the grand machine of state.”
    Marquis De Custine (1790–1857)
