Infant Mortality Rate

Famous quotes containing the words infant and/or rate:

“Perchance not he but Nature ailed,
The world and not the infant failed.
It was not ripe yet to sustain
A genius of so fine a strain,
Who gazed upon the sun and moon
As if he came unto his own,
And, pregnant with his grander thought,
Brought the old order into doubt.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“If I die prematurely at any rate I shall be saved from being bored to death at my own success.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
