Famous quotes containing the word taylor:
“Oh, what a might is this whose single frown
Doth shake the world as it would shake it down?
Which all from nothing fet, from nothing all;
Hath all on nothing set, lets nothing fall.
Gave all to nothing man indeed, whereby
Through nothing man all might Him glorify.”
—Edward Taylor (1645–1729)
