Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or feature:

    a notable prince that was called King John;
    And he ruled England with main and with might,
    For he did great wrong, and maintained little right.
    —Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 2–4)

    With men he can be rational and unaffected, but when he has ladies to please, every feature works.
    Jane Austen (1775–1817)
