Advanced

Famous quotes containing the word advanced:

    Among the earliest institutions to be invented, if I read the stars right, is a Protestant monastery, a place of elegant seclusion where melancholy gentlemen and ladies may go to spend the advanced session of life in drinking milk, walking the woods & reading the Bible and the poets.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Having advanced to the limit of boldness, child, you have stumbled against the lofty pedestal of Justice.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    I saw my lady weep,
    And Sorrow proud to be advanced so
    In those fair eyes where all perfections keep.
    Her face was full of woe;

    But such a woe, believe me, as wins more hearts
    Than Mirth can do with her enticing parts.
    —Unknown. I Saw My Lady Weep (l. 1–6)
