Famous quotes containing the words major and/or achievements:

    “The more you stay in this kind of job, the more you realize that a public figure, a major public figure, is a lonely man.”
    —Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)

    “Freedom of enterprise was from the beginning not altogether a blessing. As the liberty to work or to starve, it spelled toil, insecurity, and fear for the vast majority of the population. If the individual were no longer compelled to prove himself on the market, as a free economic subject, the disappearance of this freedom would be one of the greatest achievements of civilization.”
    —Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
