Thread Count

Famous quotes containing the words thread and/or count:

“I often wish for the end of the wretched remnant of my life; and that wish is a rational one; but then the innate principle of self-preservation, wisely implanted in our natures, for obvious purposes, opposes that wish, and makes us endeavour to spin out our thread as long as we can, however decayed and rotten it may be.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

“Happiness was not made to be boasted, but enjoyed. Therefore tho’ others count me miserable, I will not believe them if I know and feel myself to be happy; nor fear them.”
—Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
