Famous quotes containing the word number:
“States strong enough to do good are but few.
Their number would seem limited to three.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“In a number of other cultures, fathers are not relegated to babysitter status, nor is their ability to be primary nurturers so readily dismissed.... We have evidence that in our own society men can rear and nurture their children competently and that men’s methods, although different from those of women, are imaginative and constructive.”
—Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)
