Numbering System

Famous quotes containing the words numbering and/or system:

    The task he undertakes
    Is numbering sands and drinking oceans dry.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Nobody is glad in the gladness of another, and our system is one of war, of an injurious superiority. Every child of the Saxon race is educated to wish to be first. It is our system; and a man comes to measure his greatness by the regrets, envies, and hatreds of his competitors.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
