Famous quotes containing the word figures:
“I will stand on, and continue to use, the figures I have used, because I believe they are correct. Now, I’m not going to deny that you don’t now and then slip up on something; no one bats a thousand.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“She, while her lover pants upon her breast,
Can mark the figures on an Indian chest.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“But that wasn’t fancy enough for Lord Byron, oh dear me no, he had to invent a lot of figures of speech and then interpolate them,
With the result that whenever you mention Old Testament soldiers to
people they say Oh yes, they’re the ones that a lot of wolves dressed up in gold and purple ate them.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
