Famous quotes containing the words court and/or held:
“At court I met it, in clothes brave enough
To be a courtier, and looks grave enough
To seem a statesman.”

“[The] elderly and timid single gentleman in Paris ... never drove down the Champs Elysees without expecting an accident, and commonly witnessing one; or found himself in the neighborhood of an official without calculating the chances of a bomb. So long as the rates of progress held good, these bombs would double in force and number every ten years.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
