Point Count

Famous quotes containing the words point and/or count:

    It is not he who gains the exact point in dispute who scores most in controversy—but he who has shown the better temper.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    There’s no telling what might have happened to our defense budget if Saddam Hussein hadn’t invaded Kuwait that August and set everyone gearing up for World War II½. Can we count on Saddam Hussein to come along every year and resolve our defense-policy debates? Given the history of the Middle East, it’s possible.
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)
