Lowest Number

Famous quotes containing the words lowest and/or number:

    Times go by turns, and chances change by course,
    From foul to fair, from better hap to worse.

    She draws her favours to the lowest ebb;
    Her tides have equal times to come and go,
    Her loom doth weave the fine and Coarsest web;

    I heartily wish you, in the plain home-spun style, a great number of happy new years, well employed in forming both your mind and your manners, to be useful and agreeable to yourself, your country, and your friends.
