Famous quotes containing the word scale:

“We honor motherhood with glowing sentimentality, but we don’t rate it high on the scale of creative occupations.”

“The Humanity of men and women is inversely proportional to their Numbers. A Crowd is no more human than an Avalanche or a Whirlwind. A rabble of men and women stands lower in the scale of moral and intellectual being than a herd of Swine or of Jackals.”
