Average Measures

Famous quotes containing the words average and/or measures:

“...you don’t have to be as good as white people, you have to be better or the best. When Negroes are average, they fail, unless they are very, very lucky. Now, if you’re average and white, honey, you can go far. Just look at Dan Quayle. If that boy was colored he’d be washing dishes somewhere.”
—Annie Elizabeth Delany (b. 1891)

“thou mayst know,
That flesh is but the glass, which holds the dust
That measures all our time;”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
