Numbers Marked

Famous quotes containing the words numbers and/or marked:

“... there are persons who seem to have overcome obstacles and by character and perseverance to have risen to the top. But we have no record of the numbers of able persons who fall by the wayside, persons who, with enough encouragement and opportunity, might make great contributions.”

“If we are marked to die, we are enough
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.”
