Point Count

Famous quotes containing the words point and/or count:

“All people who have reached the point of becoming nations tend to despise foreigners, but there is not much doubt that the English-speaking races are the worst offenders.

“Who knows but we may count among our intellectual chickens
Like them an Earl of Thackeray and p’raps a Duke of
Dickens—”
