Numerically Superior

Famous quotes containing the words numerically and/or superior:

    I believe that the miseries consequent on the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors are so great as imperiously to command the attention of all dedicated lives; and that while the abolition of American slavery was numerically first, the abolition of the liquor traffic is not morally second.
    Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)

    For by superior energies; more strict
    Affiance in each other; faith more firm
    In their unhallowed principles, the bad
    Have fairly earned a victory o’er the weak,
    The vacillating, inconsistent good.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
