Point Count

Famous quotes containing the words point and/or count:

    We should have learnt by now that laws and court decisions can only point the way. They can establish criteria of right and wrong. And they can provide a basis for rooting out the evils of bigotry and racism. But they cannot wipe away centuries of oppression and injustice—however much we might desire it.
    Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)

    I wish to say that, in so far as I can, I hope to promote the enactment of further legislation of this character.
    There’s nothing else one can say about me—I’m superfluous, in a word. A supernumerary—that’s all. Nature evidently didn’t count on my appearance, and consequently treated me as an unexpected, uninvited guest.
    Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
