Set Amount

Famous quotes containing the words set and/or amount:

    There is one thing that matters—to set a chime of words tinkling in the minds of a few fastidious people.
    Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)

    One cannot demand of a scholar that he show himself a scholar everywhere in society, but the whole tenor of his behavior must none the less betray the thinker, he must always be instructive, his way of judging a thing must even in the smallest matters be such that people can see what it will amount to when, quietly and self-collected, he puts this power to scholarly use.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
