# Albert Rees

Albert E. Rees (21 August 1921 – 5 September 1992) was an American economist and noted author.

## Quotes

* The neoclassical theory of wage determination, which I taught for 30 years and have tried to explain in my textbook ... has nothing to say about fairness.... Beginning in the mid-1970s, I began to find myself in a series of roles in which I have participated in setting or controlling wages and salaries. These included sitting on three wage stabilization bodies during the Nixon and Ford administrations, as a director of two corporations, as a provost of a private university, as a president of a foundation, and as a trustee of a liberal arts college. In one of the corporations I serve as chairman of the compensation committee. In none of these roles did I find the theory that I taught so long to be the slightest help. The factors involved in setting wages and salaries in the real world seemed to be very different from those specified in the neoclassical theory. The one factor that seemed to be of overwhelming importance in all these situations was fairness.

# Albert Pierrepoint

Albert Pierrepoint (30 March 1905 – 10 July 1992) was the best known member of a Yorkshire family who provided three of Britain's Chief Executioners in the first half of the 20th century.

## Quotes

* All the men and women whom I have faced at that final moment, convince me that in what I have done, I have not prevented a single murder.
** Executioner: Pierrepoint. Harrap 1974. p. 211.
* I have come to the conclusion that executions solve nothing, and are only an antiquated relic of a primitive desire for revenge which takes the easy way and hands over the responsibility for revenge to other people.
** Executioner: Pierrepoint. Harrap 1974. p. 210.
* The trouble with the death penalty has always been that nobody wanted it for everybody, but everybody differed about who should get off.
** Executioner: Pierrepoint. Harrap 1974. p. 211.

## About Pierrepoint

* The reputation of the hangman in the three-piece suit is not what it once was. During and after the war, he was considered a hero, a selfless, sober and self-effacing servant of the crown performing an unpleasant duty with no interest in profit or fame. More recent research and evidence — and changing attitudes towards capital punishment — suggest he was something very different: a callous, self-important brute, who claimed to be motivated by sacred impulses (as many killers do), fastidiously recorded his trail of death (ditto), relished his own macabre notoriety (ditto), killed several innocent people and went on hanging people, without remorse, long after he had concluded capital punishment was not a deterrent. He quit not from moral scruple but over money. He was not mentally ill, like many of his victims, just entirely loathsome.

# Albert Schinz

Albert Schinz (1870-1943) was an American French and philosophical scholar, editor, and professor of French literature.

## Quotes

* “Pragmatism” is only a new term to designate “Opportunism” in philosophy.
** Anti-Pragmatism; an Examination into the Respective Rights of Intellectual Aristocracy and Social Democracy (1909), p. xv.
* We declare pragmatism to be bad, not indeed in its moral consequences (which, as a matter of fact, ought not to count in philosophy), but because it introduces into our fashion of thinking a degrading sophistry. Pragmatism, in its modern systematized form, would scarcely have been possible in earlier times. It has, however, become so since erudite scholars and original thinkers have deemed it fit to cater to a public incapable of taking a genuine interest in their researches and their speculations, a public which in the last resort wishes simply to amuse itself with these as it amuses itself with everything else, — the public of our modern democracies. We feel flattered by the plaudits of the crowd, and to procure these we are satisfied to get down to the level of those whom as thinkers we should disdain. Popular science, popular art, popular theology — only one thing was lacking — popular philosophy.
** Anti-Pragmatism; an Examination into the Respective Rights of Intellectual Aristocracy and Social Democracy (1909), p. xv.
* I do reproach a school of modern philosophers for wishing to force, so to speak, impersonal philosophy, a moral science, indifferent nature, to speak the same language as our aspirations and our passions — even, I grant, our generous aspirations, our noble passions. Our innate and psychic tendencies (in the moral, social, and religious realms) are phenomena for science to record and authenticate, not to justify or legitimize. The epoch of scholasticism ought to be left behind for good and all.
** Anti-Pragmatism; an Examination into the Respective Rights of Intellectual Aristocracy and Social Democracy (1909), pp. xvii-xviii.
# Albert W. Tucker

Albert William Tucker (28 November 1905 – 25 January 1995) was a Canadian mathematician who made important contributions in topology, game theory, and non-linear programming

## Quotes

* I think that mathematics will have to become more and more algorithmic if it is going to be active and vital in the creative life. This means it is necessary to rethink what we teach, in school, in college, and in graduate school. In our emphasis on deductive reasoning and rigor we have been following the Greek tradition, but there are other traditions—Babylonian, Hindu, Chinese, Mayan—and these have all followed a more algorithmic, more numerical procedure. After all, the word algorithm, like the word algebra, comes from Arabic. And the numerals we use come from Hindu mathematics via the Arabs. We can’t regard Greek mathematics as the only source of great mathematics, and yet somehow in the last half century there has been such emphasis on the greatness of “pure” mathematics that the other possible forms of mathematics have been put down. I don’t mean that it is necessary to put down the rigorous Greek style mathematics, but it is necessary to raise up the status of the numerical, the algorithmic, the discrete mathematics.
** “An Interview with Albert W. Tucker.” (1983) The Two-Year College Mathematics Journal, vol. 14, no. 3, p. 224. Also in Mathematical People: Profiles and Interviews (2008), pp. 363-64.

## Quotes

* We follow Christ, and he's come to bring the Kingdom of God, that is one of justice, peace, inclusion. This Kingdom, of course, will come at the end of times, but we are tasked with spreading it. And this means that the Catholic Church is called to work where there's justice, peace, but also war. It's called to work in healthcare, the environment, politics and the world of finance. It's a call from the Gospel.

## Quotes

* The old men remember the roadsides, the wastes, and commons, and village greens, and patches of no man's land, which have gone from them for ever. The donkey munched the thistles or rolled in the dust, the cow, half starved perhaps in winter, yet gained a certain sort of sustenance and picked up its livelihood under the hedge or on the green. The geese hissed at strangers intruding upon this or that patch of verdure, and brought in a few shillings, if their owner were lucky with them, at Michaelmas time.
** (August 1881)"My Return to Arcady". The Nineteenth Century 10: 259–275. (quote from p. 270)
* If the salt was dear and scarce, sugar was unknown except to the very rich. The poor man had little to sweeten his lot. The bees gave him honey; and long after the time I am dealing with, people left not only their hives to their children by will, but actually bequeathed a summer flight of bees to their friends; while the hive was claimed by one, the next swarm would become the property of another.

* The ordinary life of the monastery began at six o'clock in the morning, and when the small bell, called the skilla, rang, all rose, washed themselves at the latrines, put on their daily habit, and then presented themselves at the matin Mass.

** (July 1885)"A Swain of Arcady". The Nineteenth Century 18: 48–57. (quote from p. 50)
* It seems to me that before a man has any right to pose as a reformer he must do two things: first, he must learn the truth of things as they are, and look facts in the face; and secondly, he must learn how things were, and how they have come to be as they are.
** (January 1886)"The Little Ones and the Land". The Nineteenth Century 19: 66–86. (quote from p. 70)
* The old Cambridge, which some of us knew in our youth, with its solemn ecclesiasticism, its quaint archaisms, its fantastic anomallies, its fascinating picturesqueness, its dear old barbaric unintelligible odds and ends that met us at every turn in street and chapel and hall—that old Cambridge is as dead as the Egypt of the Pharaohs.

# Augustus Taber Murray

Augustus Taber Murray (1866–1940) was an American classical philologist and translator and a Quaker minister. He was Professor of Greek at Stanford University for forty years.

## Quotes

* He who would know Homer must approach him with an open mind and lend himself to the guidance of the poet himself. He must not come to the study of the poems with a preconceived notion of the processes by which they have come into being, or of philological or archaeological criteria for determining the relative age of this episode or of that. The reconstructed Iliads are all figments of the imagination; the existent poem is a tangible fact. To this extent the unbiassed student starts as a “unitarian.” If he but yields himself to the spell of the poem, he will become the more confirmed in his faith; and though he may find much of the learning of the world arrayed against him, yet he will none the less be standing in a goodly company of those whom the Muse has loved, and will himself have heard the voice of the goddess and looked upon her face.

# Augusto Sandino

Augusto César Sandino (May 18, 1895 – February 21, 1934) was a Nicaraguan revolutionary and leader of a rebellion between 1927 and 1933 against the U.S. military occupation of Nicaragua. He was called a "bandit" by the United States government; his exploits made him a hero throughout much of Latin America, where he became a symbol of resistance to United States domination. Sandino drew units of the United States Marine Corps into an undeclared guerrilla war. The United States troops withdrew from the country in 1933 after overseeing the election and inauguration of President Juan Bautista Sacasa, who had returned from exile. The recall of the Marines was largely due to the Great Depression.
Sandino was assassinated in 1934 by National Guard forces of General Anastasio Somoza García, who went on to seize power in a coup d'état two years later. After being elected president by an overwhelming margin in 1936, Somoza García resumed control of the National Guard and established a dictatorship and Somoza family dynasty that ruled Nicaragua for more than 40 years. Sandino's political legacy was claimed by the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN), which finally overthrew the Somoza government in 1979.

## Quotes
### The San Albino Manifesto (July 1, 1927)

* To the Nicaraguans, to the Central Americans, to the Indo-Hispanic Race: The man who doesn't ask his country for even a handful of earth for his grave deserves to be heard, and not only to be heard, but also to be believed.
* I am a Nicaraguan and I am proud because in my veins flows above all the blood of the Indian race, which by some atavism encompasses the mystery of being patriotic, loyal, and sincere. The bond of nationality give me the right to assume responsibility for my acts, without being concerned that pessimists and cowards may brand me with a name that, in their own condition as eunuchs, would be more appropriately applied to them. I am a mechanic, but my idealism is based upon a broad horizon of internationalism, which represents the right to be free and to establish justice, even though to achieve this it may be necessary to establish it upon a foundation of blood. The oligarchs, or rather, the swamp geese, will say the I am a plebeian, but it doesn't matter. My greatest honor is that I come from the lap of the oppressed, the soul and spirit of our race, those who have lived ignored and forgotten, at the mercy of the shameless hired assassins who have committed the crime of high treason, forgetful of the pain and misery of the Liberal cause that they pitilessly persecuted, as if we did not belong to the same nation.

## Quotes

* Though the Negroes are fed, clothed, and housed, and though the Irish peasant is starved, naked, and roofless, the bare name of freemen—the lordship over his own person, the power to choose and will—are blessings beyond food, raiment, or shelter; possessing which, the want of every comfort of life is yet more tolerable than their fullest enjoyment without them.
** Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation in 1838-1839, ch. 1 (1863).
* As for the exhortation with which Mr. ------ closes his letter, that I will not "go down to my husband's plantation prejudiced against what I am to find there," I know not well how to answer it. Assuredly I am going prejudiced against slavery, for I am an Englishwoman, in whom the absence of such a prejudice would be disgraceful.

* A good many causes tend to make good masters and mistresses quite as rare as good servants.... The large and rapid fortunes by which vulgar and ignorant people become possessed of splendid houses, splendidly furnished, do not, of course, give them the feelings and manners of gentle folks, or in any way really raise them above the servants they employ, who are quite aware of this fact, and that the possession of wealth is literally the only superiority their employers have over them.

* In all my years of football I’ve never known a man who talked more and won less than Steve Gutman.
** 2004 interview, reprinted in FROM DARKNESS TO DYNASTY
* All right, you guys are asking a lot of questions about what we’ve seen from this guy, what we’ve seen from that guy, and we’ve yet to put on pads. I understand this is a pretty talented group of evaluators in this room, but in all honesty our evaluations come more in training camp when we actually practice and we can fully execute the techniques and the plays that we’re trying to do. I know everybody’s all excited when a guy catches a pass. To evaluate players competitively when they’re not on a competitive level I have a hard time with. But I know a lot of people are good at that and they can make a lot more out of it than I can, so I respect that, but due to my personal limitations and my personal inability to make those evaluations, I don’t make them. We can keep asking how everybody does on this and how everybody does on that, and the main thing for me is to see if they’re doing the right thing, doing it properly, how we can correct that, and then there’ll be a point in time when everybody wil be able to go out and do it to the best of their ability against very competitive players on the other side of the ball and we’ll see what happens. That’s when the evaluations really start.
