Famous quotes containing the words world and/or cup:
“Suddenly I realized the power I held, the power to rule, to make the world grovel at my feet. We’ll soon put the world right now, Kemp. You and I.”
—R.C. Sherriff (1896–1975)
“There is not enough exercise in this way of life. I try to make up by active gymnastics before I dress when I get up, by walking rapidly in the lower hall and the greenhouse after each meal for perhaps five to ten minutes, and a good hand rubbing before going to bed. I eat moderately; drink one cup of coffee at breakfast and one cup of tea at lunch and no other stimulant. My health is now, and usually, excellent.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
