Peter Drucker
The more the division of labor and the application of machinery extend, the more does competition extend among the workers, the more do their wages shrink together.

Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs.
Pablo Picasso
Man's greatness consists in his ability to do and the proper application of his powers to things needed to be done.
Frederick Douglass
Adultery is the application of democracy to love.

Richard M. Nixon
The chief benefit, which results from philosophy, arises in an indirect manner, and proceeds more from its secret, insensible influence, than from its immediate application.
David Hume
There are very few things impossible in themselves; and we do not want means to conquer difficulties so much as application and resolution in the use of means.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Few things are impracticable in themselves; and it is for want of application, rather than of means, that men fail to succeed.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
