Famous quotes containing the word fire:

    Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; but urge me not to use moderation in a case like the present.
    William Lloyd Garrison (1805–1879)

    Our hearts you see not; they are pitiful;
    And pity to the general wrong of Rome—
    As fire drives out fire, so pity pity—
    Hath done this deed on Caesar.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I haven’t much opinion of words.... They’re apt to set fire to a dry tongue, that’s what I say.
    Ellen Glasgow (1874–1945)
