Famous quotes containing the words character, nomination and/or total:

    “You know that the beginning is the most important part of any work, especially in the case of a young and tender thing; for that is the time at which the character is being framed.”
    —Plato (5th century B.C.)

    “I shall not seek and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President.”
    —Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    “Computers are good at swift, accurate computation and at storing great masses of information. The brain, on the other hand, is not as efficient a number cruncher and its memory is often highly fallible; a basic inexactness is built into its design. The brain’s strong point is its flexibility. It is unsurpassed at making shrewd guesses and at grasping the total meaning of information presented to it.”
    —Jeremy Campbell (b. 1931)
