Time Number

Famous quotes containing the words time and/or number:

    There is much in nature against us. But we forget:
    Take nature altogether since time began,
    Including human nature, in peace and war,
    And it must be a little more in favor of man....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.
    Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
