Numbers Marked

Famous quotes containing the words numbers and/or marked:

“Our religion vulgarly stands on numbers of believers. Whenever the appeal is made—no matter how indirectly—to numbers, proclamation is then and there made, that religion is not. He that finds God a sweet, enveloping presence, who shall dare to come in?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“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.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
