Improvement Quotations
A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor and bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government. Thomas Jefferson Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning. Benjamin Franklin We are more thoroughly an enlightened people, with respect to our political interests, than perhaps any other under heaven. Every man among us reads, and is so easy in his circumstances as to have leisure for conversations of improvement and for acquiring information. Benjamin Franklin In general, mankind, since the improvement of cookery, eats twice as much as nature requires. Benjamin Franklin Although personally I am quite content with existing explosives, I feel we must not stand in the path of improvement. Winston Churchill |
