Famous quotes containing the words advanced and/or resource:
“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)
“No, Ernest, don’t talk about action.... It is the last resource of those who know not how to dream.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
