Famous quotes containing the words chronological table, table, number and/or hit:

    If you are to judge a man, you must know his secret thoughts, sorrows, and feelings; to know merely the outward events of a man’s life would only serve to make a chronological table—a fool’s notion of history.
    Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

    The gingham dog and the calico cat
    Side by side on the table sat;
    Eugene Field (1850–1895)

    The genius of democracies is seen not only in the great number of new words introduced but even more in the new ideas they express.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    There are horrible people who, instead of solving a problem, tangle it up and make it harder to solve for anyone who wants to deal with it. Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
