“The terrible tabulation of the French statists brings every piece of whim and humor to be reducible also to exact numerical ratios. If one man in twenty thousand, or in thirty thousand, eats shoes, or marries his grandmother, then, in every twenty thousand, or thirty thousand, is found one man who eats shoes, or marries his grandmother.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“But, alas, to make me
A fixèd figure for the time of scorn
To point his slow unmoving finger at!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
