Famous quotes containing the word corner:
“Knighterrantry is a most chuckleheaded trade, and it is tedious hard work, too, but I begin to see that there is money in it, after all, if you have luck. Not that I would ever engage in it, as a business, for I wouldnt. No sound and legitimate business can be established on a basis of speculation. A successful whirl in the knighterrantry linenow what is it when you blow away the nonsense and come down to the cold facts? Its just a corner in pork, thats all.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910)
“Theres only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and thats your own self.”
—Aldous Huxley (18941963)
“All that Shakespeare says of the king, yonder slip of a boy that reads in the corner feels to be true of himself.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
