Famous quotes containing the words nations, points and/or statistics:
“And who in time knowes whither we may vent
The treasure of our tongue, to what strange shores
This gaine of our best glorie shal be sent,
T’inrich unknowing Nations with our stores?
What worlds in th’yet unformed Occident
May come refin’d with th’accents that are ours?”
—Samuel Daniel (c. 1562–1619)
“Type of the wise, who soar, but never roam—
True to the kindred points of Heaven and Home!”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

preponderatingly because
unless statistics lie he was
more brave than me: more blond than you.”
