Famous quotes containing the words sample and/or questions:

    The present war having so long cut off all communication with Great-Britain, we are not able to make a fair estimate of the state of science in that country. The spirit in which she wages war is the only sample before our eyes, and that does not seem the legitimate offspring either of science or of civilization.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    Uneasy shifting resumes
    As sterilisers steam
    And the routine begins again
    Of putting questions to flesh
    That no one would think to ask
    But a Ph.D. with a beard....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
