Time Number

Famous quotes containing the words time and/or number:

    I know not how,
    But I do find it cowardly and vile,
    For fear of what might fall, so to prevent
    The time of life—arming myself with patience
    To stay the providence of some high powers
    That govern us below.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Cultivated labor drives out brute labor. An infinite number of shrewd men, in infinite years, have arrived at certain best and shortest ways of doing, and this accumulated skill in arts, cultures, harvestings, curings, manufactures, navigations, exchanges, constitutes the worth of our world to-day.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
