Account Numbers

Famous quotes containing the words account and/or numbers:

    “Principles aren’t of much account anyway, except at election time. After that you hang them up to let them season.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “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)
