The preservation of health is a duty. Few seem conscious that there is such a thing as physical morality.
Herbert Spencer

I find myself hoping a total end of all the unhappy divisions of mankind by party-spirit, which at best is but the madness of many for the gain of a few.
Alexander Pope

Many men have been capable of doing a wise thing, more a cunning thing, but very few a generous thing.
Alexander Pope

Happy the man whose wish and care a few paternal acres bound, content to breathe his native air in his own ground.
Alexander Pope

Party-spirit at best is but the madness of many for the gain of a few.
Alexander Pope

What distinguishes the majority of men from the few is their ability to act according to their beliefs.

Thomas Paine

There are few cases in which mere popularity should be considered a proper test of merit; but the case of song-writing is, I think, one of the few.
Edgar Allan Poe

Few companies that installed computers to reduce the employment of clerks have realized their expectations... They now need more, and more expensive clerks even though they call them 'operators' or 'programmers.'
Peter Drucker

My greatest strength as a consultant is to be ignorant and ask a few questions.
