Famous quotes containing the words number and/or plate:

    “As equality increases, so does the number of people struggling for predominance.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “Say “Yessum” to the ladies, an’ “Yessur” to the men,
    And when they’s company, don’t pass yer plate for pie again;
    But, thinkin’ of the things yer’d like to see upon that tree,
    Jes ‘fore Christmas be as good as yer kin be!”
    —Eugene Field (1850–1895)
