Collins Score

Famous quotes containing the words collins and/or score:

    And Truth, in sunny vest arrayed,
    By whose the tarsel’s eyes were made;
    —William Collins (1721–1759)

    Earthly minds, like mud walls, resist the strongest batteries: and though, perhaps, sometimes the force of a clear argument may make some impression, yet they nevertheless stand firm, and keep out the enemy, truth, that would captivate or disturb them. Tell a man passionately in love, that he is jilted; bring a score of witnesses of the falsehood of his mistress, it is ten to one but three kind words of hers shall invalidate all their testimonies.
    John Locke (1632–1704)
