Bishop David

Famous quotes containing the words bishop and/or david:

    Whether they knew or not,
    Goldsmith and Burke, Swift and the Bishop of Cloyne
    All hated Whiggery; but what is Whiggery?
    A levelling, rancorous, rational sort of mind
    That never looked out of the eye of a saint
    Or out of drunkard’s eye.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I am engaged to Concord and my own private pursuits by 10,000 ties, and it would be suicide to rend them.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
