Famous quotes containing the words transfer and/or army:

    No sociologist ... should think himself too good, even in his old age, to make tens of thousands of quite trivial computations in his head and perhaps for months at a time. One cannot with impunity try to transfer this task entirely to mechanical assistants if one wishes to figure something, even though the final result is often small indeed.
    Max Weber (1864–1920)

    An army is maintained for a thousand days all to be used on one morning.
    Chinese proverb.
