Famous quotes containing the words comparison and/or stream:

    “What is man in nature? A nothing in comparison with the infinite, an all in comparison with the nothing—a mean between nothing and everything.”
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    “I confess my belief in the common man.... The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it.... The man who is in the melee knows what blows are being struck and what blood is being drawn.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
