Pin Count

Famous quotes containing the words pin and/or count:

    It is not, truly speaking, the labour that is divided; but the men: divided into mere segments of men—broken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail.
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    We do not mean to count or weigh our contributions by any standard other than that of our abilities.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
