Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or numbers:

    “If we cannot sing of faith and triumph, we will sing our despair. We will be that kind of bird. There are day owls, and there are night owls, and each is beautiful and even musical while about its business.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “... there are persons who seem to have overcome obstacles and by character and perseverance to have risen to the top. But we have no record of the numbers of able persons who fall by the wayside, persons who, with enough encouragement and opportunity, might make great contributions.”
    —Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
