Sum Addressed

Famous quotes containing the words sum and/or addressed:

    We didn’t come to dig in Egypt for medals. Much more is learned from studying bits of broken pottery than from all the sensational finds. Our job is to increase the sum of human knowledge of the past, not to satisfy our own curiosity.
    John L. Balderston (1899–1954)

    What is addressed to us for contemplation does not threaten us, but makes us intellectual beings.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
