Thread Count

Famous quotes containing the words thread and/or count:

“Oh sure, everyone goes back to the earth at some point, but life itself is a thread that is never broken, never lost. Do you know why? Because each man makes a knot in the thread during his lifetime: it is the work he has done and that’s what gives life to life in the long stretch of time: the usefulness of man on this earth.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)

“We do not mean to count or weigh our contributions by any standard other than that of our abilities.”
