Assembly Quotations
In most communities it is illegal to cry "fire" in a crowded assembly. Should it not be considered serious international misconduct to manufacture a general war scare in an effort to achieve local political aims?
Dwight D. Eisenhower
There is a sacred horror about everything grand. It is easy to admire mediocrity and hills; but whatever is too lofty, a genius as well as a mountain, an assembly as well as a masterpiece, seen too near, is appalling.
Victor Hugo
I learned later, just as a footnote, that the World Assembly of Youth was a CIA front.
Stephen Lewis
The debates of that great assembly are frequently vague and perplexed, seeming to be dragged rather than to march, to the intended goal. Something of this sort must, I think, always happen in public democratic assemblies.
Alexis de Tocqueville
Prayers were held in Assembly Hall. We all perched in rows on wooden benches while teachers sat up on the platform in armchairs, facing us.
Roald Dahl
One cannot walk through an assembly factory and not feel that one is in Hell.
W. H. Auden

Dag Hammarskjold
A court is an assembly of noble and distinguished beggars.
Charles Maurice de Talleyrand
In any assembly the simplest way to stop transacting business and split the ranks is to appeal to a principle.
Jacques Barzun
There have been some medical schools in which somewhere along the assembly line, a faculty member has informed the students, not so much by what he said but by what he did, that there is an intimate relation between curing and caring.
Ashley Montagu
