Point Average

Famous quotes containing the words point and/or average:

    It is sometimes a point of as much cleverness to know to make good use of advice from others as to be able give good advice to oneself.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    In the middle classes the gifted son of a family is always the poorest—usually a writer or artist with no sense for speculation—and in a family of peasants, where the average comfort is just over penury, the gifted son sinks also, and is soon a tramp on the roadside.
    —J.M. (John Millington)
