House Number

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or number:

    You take my house when you do take the prop
    That doth sustain my house; you take my life
    When you do take the means whereby I live.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Even in ordinary speech we call a person unreasonable whose outlook is narrow, who is conscious of one thing only at a time, and who is consequently the prey of his own caprice, whilst we describe a person as reasonable whose outlook is comprehensive, who is capable of looking at more than one side of a question and of grasping a number of details as parts of a whole.
    G. Dawes Hicks (1862–1941)
