Famous quotes containing the words set and/or amount:
“The dreariest spot in all the land
To Death they set apart;
With scanty grace from Natures hand,
And none from that of Art.”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (18071892)
“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)
