Authority is something from which we are constantly subtracting, of which there remains always a residue, and which we attempt to make smaller and smaller.
Federica Montseny
Considering the general tendency to multiply offices and dependencies and to increase expense to the ultimate term of burden which the citizen can bear, it behooves us to avail ourselves of every occasion which presents itself for taking off the surcharge; that it never may be seen here that, after leaving to labor the smallest portion of its earnings on which it can subsist, Government shall itself consume the whole residue of what it was instituted to guard.
Thomas Jefferson
GTD essence: attention cleared of residue & distraction, pointed at the right thing.
David Allen (author)

Robert Sheckley
Time devours our feeble mortality, leaving us with but the sour residue of memory.” Marvin nodded. "Yet this ineffable and ungraspable quantity,” he replied, "this time which no man may possess, is in truth our only possession.

At the end of the bronze age a residue of Greek tribes stayed behind in Southern Macedonia[...] one of these, the "Makedones" occupied Aegae and expanded into the coastal plain of lower Macedonia which became the Kingdom of Macedon; their descendants were the Macedonians proper of the classical period and they worshipped Greek gods. The other Greek tribes became intermingled in upper Macedonia with Illyrians, Paeonians and Thracians[...] in the early 5th century the royal house of Macedon, the Temenidae was recognised as Greek by the Presidents of the Olympic Games. Their verdict was and is decisive. It is certain that the Kings considered themselves to be of Greek descent from Heracles son of Zeus. "Macedonian" was a strong dialect of very early Greek which was not intelligible to contemporary Greeks.
N.G.L. Hammond
I have so much residue crap in my hair from years and years of not washing it and not having any sense of personal hygiene whatsoever.

Jack Youngblood
It is the residue of animal and vegetable putrefaction, and is a black body; when dry it is pulverulent, and when wet has a soft, greasy feel... It is the produce of organic power-a compound of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen, such as cannot be chemically composed.
Albrecht Thaer
Luck is the residue of design.
John Milton
Turning finally to the question raised, to be precise, it appears that [Hillary] Clinton received a slight majority of the vote. The apparent decisive victory [of Donald Trump] has to do with curious features of American politics: among other factors, the Electoral College residue of the founding of the country as an alliance of separate states; the winner-take-all system in each state; the arrangement of congressional districts (sometimes by gerrymandering) to provide greater weight to rural votes (in past elections, and probably this one too, Democrats have had a comfortable margin of victory in the popular vote for the House, but hold a minority of seats); the very high rate of abstention (usually close to half in presidential elections, this one included). Of some significance for the future is the fact that in the age 18-25 range, Clinton won handily, and Sanders had an even higher level of support. How much this matters depends on what kind of future humanity will face.
Noam Chomsky
Creativity is the residue of time wasted.
Albert Einstein
The Congress for some time remained as a respectable residue. But a comprehensive party cannot survive too long as a residue. It may be small in size at a given time, but its composition should still remain comprehensive. This could be termed as the widest connotation of secularism. The Congress, therefore, is the most secular party in the real sense.
P. V. Narasimha Rao
Playwrights have texts, composers have scores, painters and sculptors have the residue of those activities, and dance is traditionally an ephemeral, effervescent, here-today-gone-tomorrow kind of thing.
Twyla Tharp
Drunk with triumph, I cuddled in my rocking cradle and ransacked every unvisited chamber of the memory.... to see the residue take life and meaning in the light of the great revelation.
Robert Erskine Childers
The great in Evil, and the great in [Goodness|Good]]-both leave an immortal residue.
Michael Shea
I'm completely Americanized - I have an American accent, an American wife - but a residue of me is foreign.
Dinesh D'Souza
