Famous quotes containing the word scheme:
“In the scheme of our national government, the presidency is preeminently the people’s office.”
—Grover Cleveland (1837–1908)
“I have no scheme about it,—no designs on men at all; and, if I had, my mode would be to tempt them with the fruit, and not with the manure. To what end do I lead a simple life at all, pray? That I may teach others to simplify their lives?—and so all our lives be simplified merely, like an algebraic formula? Or not, rather, that I may make use of the ground I have cleared, to live more worthily and profitably?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Your scheme must be the framework of the universe; all other schemes will soon be ruins.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
