Famous quotes containing the word adept:

    I needs must turn
    To know what prints I leave, whether of feet,
    Or spoor of pads, or a bird’s adept splay.

    I would advise you Sir, to study algebra, if you are not already an adept in it: your head would be less muddy, and you will leave off tormenting your neighbours about paper and packthread, while we all live together in a world that is bursting with sin and sorrow.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
