Reaching Number

Famous quotes containing the words reaching and/or number:

    The pious ones of Plymouth who, reaching the Rock, first fell upon their own knees and then upon the aborigines.
    William M. Evarts (1818–1901)

    While I do not suggest that humanity will ever be able to dispense with its martyrs, I cannot avoid the suspicion that with a little more thought and a little less belief their number may be substantially reduced.
    —J.B.S. (John Burdon Sanderson)
