Famous quotes containing the words smallest and/or number:
“There’s not the smallest orb which thou behold’st
But in his motion like an angel sings,
Still quiring to the young-eyed cherubins;
Such harmony is in immortal souls,
But whilst this muddy vesture of decay
Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“That country is the richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
