Famous quotes containing the words test and/or numbers:
“To test a modest man’s modesty do not investigate if he ignores applause, find out if he abides criticism.”

“Out of the darkness where Philomela sat,
Her fairy numbers issued. What then ailed me?
My ears are called capacious but they failed me,
Her classics registered a little flat!
I rose, and venomously spat.”
