Famous quotes containing the words power and/or sum:
“The spider-mind acquires a faculty of memory, and, with it, a singular skill of analysis and synthesis, taking apart and putting together in different relations the meshes of its trap. Man had in the beginning no power of analysis or synthesis approaching that of the spider, or even of the honey-bee; but he had acute sensibility to the higher forces.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“They are but beggars that can count their worth,
But my true love is grown to such excess
I cannot sum up sum of half my wealth.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
