Famous quotes containing the words empty and/or shoes:
“It is a great mistake to suppose that clever, imaginative children ... should content themselves with the empty nonsense which is so often set before them under the name of Children’s Tales. They want something much better; and it is surprising how much they see and appreciate which escapes a good, honest, well- informed papa.”
—E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)
“A man cannot make a pair of shoes rightly unless he do it in a devout manner.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
