Famous quotes containing the words rational and/or numbers:
“... how can a rational being be ennobled by any thing that is not obtained by its own exertions?”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
“All ye poets of the age,
All ye witlings of the stage,
Learn your jingles to reform,
Crop your numbers to conform.
Let your little verses flow
Gently, sweetly, row by row;
Let the verse the subject fit,
Little subject, little wit.
Namby-Pamby is your guide,
Albion’s joy, Hibernia’s pride.”
—Henry Carey (1693?–1743)
