Reach Number

Famous quotes containing the words reach and/or number:

“Italians, and perhaps Frenchmen, consider first whether they like or want to do a thing and then whether, on the whole, it will do them any harm. Englishmen, and perhaps Germans, consider first whether they ought to like a thing and often never reach the questions whether they do like it and whether it will hurt. There is much to be said for both systems, but I suppose it is best to combine them as far as possible.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

“That country is the richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
