Famous quotes containing the words false, light and/or claim:
“Sir Andrew Aguecheek. I know, to be up late is to be up late.
Sir Toby Belch. A false conclusion. I hate it as an unfilled can. To be up after midnight and to go to bed then, is early; so that to go to bed after midnight is to go to bed betimes.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“But misery still delights to trace
Its semblance in anothers case.
No voice divine the storm allayd,
No light propitious shone;
When, snatchd from all effectual aid,
We perishd, each alone:
But I beneath a rougher sea,
And whelmd in deeper gulphs than he.”
—William Cowper (17311800)
“You may consider me presumptuous, gentlemen, but I claim to be a citizen of the United States, with all the qualifications of a voter. I can read the Constitution, I am possessed of two hundred and fifty dollars, and the last time I looked in the old family Bible I found I was over twenty-one years of age.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (18161902)
